VoltarenTopical 1% Arthritis Gel, 3.52 Ounce

I cannot believe my results from this anti inflammatory gel. Two days of applying the proper dosing, my wrist pain is 80% better. Wow! I am impressed! Thanks to my doctor for recommending this over the counter product.

Works great on my back.

Works great for burning pain.

I've been very impressed by how effective this product is but I knocked off a star because it does have a terrible smell. Fortunately, the bad smell dissipates quickly so it's not a deal-breaker.

This stuff really works! The directions are a little confusing, and somewhat alarming, but don’t hesitate to use it. I can’t take (oral) INSAIDS, so I asked my doctor about using it topically. He told me it was not a problem-in fact he told me to use Voltaren 4x/day on my shoulder for two weeks. Instead of using that strange little ruler enclosed inside the box, he showed me how to use it-a 1” line on my finger, then rub it into my problem shoulder. And after 2 weeks it had helped the pain/inflammation in my shoulder enough that I could cut back to once a day (nighttime for me). I rarely need to use it at all now, but keep it at the ready just in case.

This was recommended to me by a Certified Nursing Assistant who regularly works with old folks. Now that I am one, it is coming in handy. Don’t wait until your problem joint starts to hurt, apply it ahead of time. The trick I’ve learned is to apply a little right after I get out of the shower. By the time evening and night come, everything is under control. I don’t seem to need as much that way, either. Beats the pants off of IcyHot.

Haven't used this long enough to see any benefits, but wanted others to know that this was shipped with the tamper-resistant seal broken, and it seems as if some of it was already used.

Very effective
