This topical gel works wonders (usually within 30 sec- to 2 mins) upon application. Relieves my knee pain immediately, until oral medication can be brought onboard. I won't be woth out it. I use up to 16G daily , 4 G q 4-6 hours. I loved it! I understand it's been out in Europe for over 15 years, only only 3 weeks in the US. What took us so long!!!

I was switched from Celebrex, which I was having no side effects from to Voltaren Gel which gave me chest pains and shortness of breath immediately! I went to a cardiologist and had to wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours and it showed it had effected my heart. I HAD NO HISTORY OF HEART PROBLEMS BEFORE TAKING THIS MEDICATION AND NON SINCE STOPPING IT.

Read the box. This is receiving bad reviews because people don't read! It gives me relief for osteoarthritis in my knee. It's not for strains etc! Box also states may take 7 days or so for relief! The bad reviews, due to misuse, are so annoying! I give it a 9 out of 10.

I complained to volterol regarding jelly lumps in the medication, which did no seem normal,
I spoke with someone in the office and they did not seem interested, and said they would send me
a return envelope. which never came, They seem not to care. E J Allen

Bought and used on my knee. Seemed to help but it actually burned my skin in two areas. I have also experienced burned skin between my fingers after washing it off! Waste of money and it should not be used by anyone based on the nasty side affects.

I am posting based on the poor reviews; specifically those that say they used 9nce or twice with no relief. For crying out loud, read the instructions. You must apply a minimum of 7 days before relief is noticed. My goodness. READ!

I used it for a few days, on my wrist, it's kind of messy and smells bad, and didn't help with the pain.

Did zero to relieve pulled joint pain. Tired it a second time for a different location, tendinitis in my foot. Nope still zero. Total worthless for me. Really hoping for this to work as I can not take oral NSAIDS. Waste of $$. Just dealing that I have to live with pain

I got some of this for my wife. She has a sore shoulder, but she is also allergic to perfume. Now she has a migrane on top of it. This product should clearly state that it contains some noxious perfume which makes people sick. It probably causes heart problems too. Bad marketing for a bad product.

I have plantar fasciitis in the arch of my foot. I rub Voltron on my foot two or three times a day. It really helps take the pain away.

I have some arthritis pain in my Lt knee. I used the extra strength for my knee. For starters I wish it had some type of cooling monthly effect. It does not. But most importantly it does absolutely nothing to relieve my knee soreness and tightness.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and Voltaren gel has helped a lot with the painful symptoms. I usually take a naproxen and then apply some Voltaren

I LOVE VOLTAREN, IT HELPS MY NECK, HANDS AND KNEES FOR ARTHRITIS. PLEASE BRING BACK ORIGINAL VOLTAREN. I ASK BECAUSE WITH THE "VOLTAREN NSAID" YOU CANT USE BLOOD THINNERS AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU.

I didn’t notice much effect on the first use. But after that, it really helped relieve my knee pain, which was getting un-walkable.
I apply it in the morning after my shower and it’s been amazing now on day 6 and 7.

I used Voltaren for the recommended period of 21 days on my arthritic knee. It did help immensely, though it did not totally take my pain away. If I have another major flare up I would use again. I do have one question, why aren’t women users ever shown in the Voltaren ads?

I have scoliosis, numbness in my left hand from pinched nerves in my neck, right shoulder replaced, and both knees replaced. i get relief faster than any other product I've used. I use it on my right Shoulder, Neck, and knees when the pain get bad. One tube will last me a month or more, but I usually only use 1/2' - 1" (way less than they suggest).
