Awaiting for your reply. Thanks in advance. I'm on my last tube, and really have not noticed any less pain or stiffness at all. Does it require a prescription?

I have arthritis in my toes and have a lot of pain at night. What are the side effects of this cream? I only use when necessary. This is so much easier on my body instead of popping more pills.

Once again, that too is useless. May as well rub butter where the pain is. Does anything help? I've been using it on my arthritic knees for about two weeks and it's been a huge help.

I hope the systemic absorption doesn't become a problem. I used the 100 gram tube up in about a week & now just apply it as needed when my ankle get sore from working out. Voltaren gel is a miracle worker! It keeps getting worse over the years and nothing seems to help.

Specifically, 94 percent less is absorbed from the gel than from its oral counterpart. When used alone, the only real side effects of the topical products are skin reactions where they are applied. You have several affected joints. And taking a pill would be a lot easier for someone who has multiple joints affected by arthritis, he says.

Seams to have some relief. Half way through first large tube and could coupon. I suffer from pain when walking too much and when weather changes. It is good for up to 6 uses.

I take meds for thyroid, high blood pressure. Steroid shots discount voltaren gel 100 gr sporadically. I've brrn using thr voltaren gel on my snklt for s week with significant less psin. I am already on several medications for arhtritis, but apparently my hand did't care.

I use 4 mg. I also apply a small amount to my hips and left thigh at night and that pretty much lets me sleep through without pain waking me up. So far so good! I'm glad to be off the pills!

If you decide to send it, you can mail it to her. I have been experiencing pain in my hips, left knee and right shoulder. Thank you for the product. I see some of the side effects include, stroke, heart attack, and other serious things.

I have yet to see real results. I will inform you when results become obvious. I was prescribed to use it 4 times a day. It really makes me sad because it immediately took away the pain.

I have now been prescribed more with a discount card to be made effective. He/she will know what will work best for your condition. I don't use it any more but continue to do some stretching every couple of days. I had no side effects and would highly recommend trying it.

The new gel is less expensive and more consistent than a compounded topical formula. In addition, it comes with disposable dosing strips that show you exactly how much gel to use. You squeeze the gel onto a card along the line for your dose, wipe the card directly onto your joint and rub it gently into the skin. Some does get absorbed, just substantially less than with a pill, he says.

And you have to be very careful with it. I not only had to heed all the warnings about it but also had to start with a very small amount and work my way up. It all helps. I do worry.

This is a possible option for me. I am 83 and otherwise in good health. Please explain how this can happen. It is a topical ointment.

Any help is good for us seniors. I an't find it. A few months ago my dr. If anyone else finds a coupon, please feel free to share the information lolololol!

With a sensitive stomach, the gel has proven a life saver for relief from the pain of arthritis in my neck, knee and hip! I have tried every sort of physical therapy, injections, acupressure, acupuncture, massage, etc. Also, has anyone had experience with the kinesis tape (or similar name) often used by athletes? At times the pain can be excruciating.

I have been pain free for over 3 months now. My question is. Can anyone help in this situation please? My wife just purchased it and it is discount voltaren gel 100 gr.

Thanks for your help. Pains in the shoulder muscles for example. I'm using half the usual dose 1g on each hand, achilles tendon, and 2g on each knee, 4x day, for a total of 32g/day. I'm not sure if it has helped my knees yet.

Is it right for you? You are older than 65. You want to avoid pills. Pharmacists literally can take the medication out of the capsule and make it into a gel voil!

I will be trying the cream on my 58 year old aching body too,lol. Had shoulder surgery/knee surgery 12/09. Keep a positive attitude some days are easier then others. I'm looking forward to getting back into my work out routine as you all know you have to keep moving no matter little or how slow you have to go.

It's obvious they don't give a damn about us it's the almighty buck they care about. Waiting to fill prescription. I have a perscription. Within 30 minutes of applying the gel the pain was gone.

Her neck is constantly hurting her. I had to semiretire from work to stay home and help her. I ask you very humbly for this request. It's very painful to see your mother suffering.

I have advanced osteoarthritis in both knees. I had an arthroscopy on my left knee. I am looking at total knee replacements. Is there a coupon anywhere for your product?

I cannot take the oral anti inflammatories due to high blood pressure. Any comments on this? I usually have severe pain after typing over an hour or sitting up at the computer. I applied it to my arms and wrist and no pain yet and it has been over 2 hours.

I have tried everything on the market for a year including steroid injections, osteopath, pt, etc with no relief of the pain. He is only 37 and cannot have a hip replacement yet. He's tried chiropractic, ibuprofen, etc,. Would this help?

Pain free neck after many, many months. Have cardio myopathy & congestive heart failure. Am 60 years old. Is this safe to use.

Do you have coupons? It is terrific. Do you have a coupon? Just a great product without adverse side effects.

It took nearly a week to have an impact. No prescription necessary there. My knee did get better. I beleive the problem to be in the facet joint of the neck.

It has been very helpful for pain in my feet and ankles. I have heard such wonderful reports from fellow patients in therapy. Say it isn't so and let me know if there are sources for this gel. I havent seen that side effect though in my research of this product.

It has certainly helped with my arthritis pain. I suffer from some chronic pain in both my shoulders off and on over the past 20 years. I have had surgery on my right shoulder 2x and have been able to get by with just a cortisone shot on my left shoulder. Hopefully it will work just as well as last night!

Hopes it work the same for me at night. That would be great! My father passed away two years ago, and the following year my mother developed stage 4 breast and vertebre cancer. She also has degenerative arthritis.

Is this something to be concerned about or is it just a small fraction of a warning? I will be starting to use the cream tomorrow, so a prompt reply is greatly appreciated. Do not ignore the warning label. I take about 2,000 mg.

It didn't take any time at all. Thanks heavens for this drug. I still have joint damage and stiffness which will be there. I am a healthy 57 year old female with a thick head of hair, my beautician noticed a lot of hair breakage and hair loss/thinning on my forehead hair line.

Has there been problems with hair loss or thinning with the use of this product? I'm on a regimen of oral analgesics, but find the voltaren gel offers a moderate respite from some of the severe pain, particularly when rubbed in the area of my knee joints and great toe joint. The best of luck,and may you have many pain free days! I have osteo, but he said it usually takes at least 2 weeks up to 6 weeks before seeing results.

I've tried several rubon creams and ointments over the years and the results have been ineffective. Then she says can't give me antiinflammatory pills or an injection because of my blood thinners and it could have a negative affect. So she gave me a prescription for pain. It's like a no win situation.

Also on effexor. Any advice would be appreciated. I know a pharmacy that is doing just that, and it works. I will keep it on hand as it does what it clames to do.
