"Wonderful anti-inflammatory. It never failed to deliver, cream and pills. After 3 months of muscle pain, huge inflammation in all my back, hamstring, quad, the pain and swelling reduces after 5 days, and left me in 10 days... nice ^^"

"Used Voltaren on mild tendonitis of the elbow. Not only did it immediately reduce the pain, but it seems to be helping to speed up healing. When I am not using it, the pain seems to be getting progressively less severe."

"I have been in pain for so very long that I thought there was no way anything could help. My latest painful foray was when I pulled a muscle in my shoulder. I used Voltaren the first time and it took almost all the pain away. The second time I used it, I was pain-free. I was thrilled."

"I have scoliosis, which not only gives me intense back pain but also takes away my ability to walk from how excruciating it is. I find that Voltaren takes away the pain quickly, which is a relief since I am a student and I have to walk from class to class."

"I have Marfan's/EDS/Fibromyalgia mixed connective tissue disorder with intense muscle spasms and pain. Voltaren actually reduces to rid muscle and all other pain in my miserable body. I can't take narcotics as I vomit and they don't work, but oddly, Voltaren does work for me. It also works on those with arthritis (as originally intended), and several people have commented this cream/gel has been the only med, oral or topical, to truly help. I use brand as generics of anything don't work."

"Terrible product. It does nothing. I have tried it for different muscles and tendon pains, and it did nothing at all."

"You can't get the damn cap off, and the writing on the tube is so small one has to use a magnifying glass to read instructions. These manufacturers are 'clueless.'"

"I have a heel spur and was given Voltaren for inflammation to possibly control plantar fasciitis. This, along with a 10-day use of an AFO brace on my foot, just may help prevent surgery. I believe Voltaren definitely is doing the job in reducing inflammation and controlling the pain."
