"I’ve been struggling with sciatica for almost a decade. Voltaren is fine, but I think I've found an even better one. It's called Acuraflex. I've just ordered it, so it will come in a few days. I've seen that it has some good ingredients, so I think it will be maybe even better than Voltaren. Has anyone tried it yet? Cheers."

"I have 4 lumbar discs bulging, however the L5-S1 is impinging on my nerve root. Complete pain, couldn't stand, couldn't walk, couldn't sit, etc. I was in misery. Finally, they put me on something other than ibuprofen, and it was Voltaren generic! It took about 1 week to kick in and work, but I honestly can say I take this in the morning along with my muscle relaxer and gabapentin, and I am pain-free and gained back 6 hours of my life! It only works for me so far for 6 hours, and by the time I can take the next dosage, I am back in the worst pain ever. Hopefully, every day I can gain a little bit more than 6 hours of my life back!"

"If you apply the ointment/gel, cover it up with a piece of Saranwrap - no need to wait for it to dry, and it can incubate that way without anybody noticing. Try to do this when you feel the first signs of sciatica...that'll do the trick."

"May help a little with sciatic nerve injury and with arthritis, but after struggling for years to find the cause of severe rhinitis, stopped Voltaren, and now no sinus problems whatsoever. I have a reaction to all oral pain meds, and now Voltaren also. Cannot rate for others' benefit because of my own reaction."

"I have sciatica since I was 15... Honestly, I take Tramadol sometimes, and it doesn't work! Voltaren is good to keep the pain within acceptable limits, but it doesn't eliminate it."

"This medicine works pretty well, but in gel form, it is messy and takes a long time to dry."
