Hello!My name is Paula and I was diagnosed with RA when I was 2.5 years old. I am now 45 and have been on various medications, had both hips replaced and various other surgeries. I will be getting both knees replaced next year. If anyone knows of any topical creams that REALLY work please let me know!!If anyone has any questions also please feel free to ask as I have had RA for a long time and also have osteoarthritis.

Hi Paula,

I was told prescription Voltaren gel (definitely not over the counter) works well for Osteoarthrtis but not for RA. A friend of mine uses it and is really greatful it works. She has OA, I have RA so personally I don't use it.

Maybe you can ask your doctor for a trial.

Best to you!

Lucy
