Voltaren

[gnstric66]

Have many people had any luck with Voltaren cream helping with foot pain in RA? I also take rinvoq but still having some pain especially in feet. Thanks

Haven’t tried Voltaren but I’ve used Volterol and found it really helpful.

Hi gnstric66, I've been using a Voltaren dolo forte gel a lot for my foot and I've found it really helps. I use it for osteoarthritis though (RA has pretty much destroyed my talonavicular joint resulting in severe OA). Oh and I'm also on Rinvoq 😊

That's great I'm glad it helps !

Yes. I have no padding on the balls of my feet and they are both swollen and puffy at night. I have been recently diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and applying Voltarol gel night and morning has really helped.

[gnstric66 in reply to Amnesiac3637]

That's good to know it really helps you!😀

I use it for my knees, which have tendonitis and find it helps. I think for surfaces not so deep, it can be very effective. It’s. just a shame it’s so expensive

Ask your doctor for prescription diclofenac, same med.

[Runrig01 in reply to Lupusrelative]

Unfortunately not, I had a severe stroke 5yr ago, so I’m not allowed oral nsaids.

[Lupusrelative in reply to Runrig01]

You can get it in cream or gel. Voltaren has same ingredient

[Runrig01 in reply to Lupusrelative]

Yes I use the high strength 2.36% gel one, It helps a lot. I’m quite familiar with all the options, I was an orthopaedic nurse. Happy with the relief I get from current one 👍

Get it prescribed

I use Volterol, most creams are just useless but this one actually works. Definitely give it a try.

I’ve used it for only very minor pain in my feet / toes. It does help but just by taking the edge off for me. Sometimes I think Vicks rub or capsaicin help more. I hope it helps you!

I have tried it.. seems like sometimes helps..then sometimes it doesnt. With neuropathy alot depends on which shoes I wear.. I now tend to throw away shoes that bother me after 3rd time wearing them..

Hi ~ yes I use Voltaren quite often for my RA hands that get so stiff and sore. I don't leave home w/out it. I hope you find it useful

[Cheylann]

I use the voltaren patches on my feet.Ice first, then apply a patch and a compression bandage. Helps a lot.

I also rub the painful areas with the gel. Helps a lot.

[gnstric66]

Thanks I'm glad it helps so many, I am also using celebrex so it may not be advisable to use voltaren with that but it was helping with feet pain
