Experiences with

Voltaren

I have OA in a thumb and use Voltaren and that helps. When I told the Rheumy about the hands he checked them out and said RA was a possibility and asked history. We agreed to wait and see what occurs next. Clearly next is this is a bit worse.

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

I use Voltaren cream but no relief either. Is this due to a build up of V? Any comments would be most welcome. Thanks.

Also: cream form of Voltaren/diclofenac is apparently very effective treatment for HFS. (I haven’t been on Xeloda but it is definitely a candidate going forward, so this is very useful to know.)

I have one sided buttock pain that makes walking/sleeping difficult- the same thing happened last year at this time but receded after some months. I'm on 5mg pred, after 8 years, have some niggles, and it's a struggle to have enough energy to get through them. Paracetamol and voltarol help a bit, but

Hello The following conditions are causing me ongoing pain and it will be a long time until I can be seen on the NHS. Cervical stenosis and bone spurs leading to nerve root entrapment and disc herniations of lower spine causing pain and neuropathy. I have read that Lidocaine patches really help but

I was diagnosed over23yrs ago i am now 64 and struggling quite alot with muscle and joint pains i am due ultrasound scans on both hips plus my right shoulder this month i cant sleep due to pain sick of feeling exhausted and downhearted i have severe acid reflux and ibs so cant take antinflamatory medications

I have had Arthritis for many years, but lately it has got worse, particularly my hands. I take 8 Paracetamol a day, and Voltarol Max, to have instant help. I have asked my GP if there is anything different to try, the answer was no.

I'm trying to decide which pain is which, and therefore how to improve things. I've been on Pred since 2016, never free of stiffness, but spent few years coping on 3mg. A def flare after a covid jab- I knew because I had to crawl upstairs on hands and knees- sent me up to 6 where I was stable but still

Could sudden foot pain be a sign that I’m tapering too quickly? I was finally diagnosed with PMR last July having suffered with pain and stiffness since Christmas 2022. I have tapered to 12 mg of preds by decreasing .5 of a mg every two weeks which seemed to be working fine. I have had a very busy couple

A few weeks ago I noticed that I couldn’t open my mouth as wide as I normally could without pain on the left side. Also, if I yawn and forget not to open it too wide I get a horrible pain and twisted feeling in my neck and throat. I went to the doctor’s surgery this week and saw a senior health practitioner

Is it considered ok to use Voltarol cream when taking Pred? I am confused as to whether it's an NSAID. I am hoping to use it on what is supposedly an artritic knee joint.

Hello again everyone. I have had Maderna jab, then the flu, cough etc, but not covid. All other ailments, except cough had subsided...but now aching calf muscles in both legs. Back from GP appt, but not very reassuring, as it was a student locum, in hospital scrubs, who almost took longer reading up

What’s my energy level, status of my hands and feet (hand and foot syndrome for which I use Voltaren) and status of mental health. I wish your mom the best! You’re doing an amazing job caring for her. Take care of you too! My husband is my rock and care taker but know it’s hard for him…

Dad's neurologist suggested rubbing his aching back with Voltaren. And now it does amazing wonders for our sweet daddy's injuries. Have you ever rubbed down your father's back a good long while? It's special that his son does that for him now.

My 18 year-old daughter is severely affected by the pain of endometriosis. She currently takes paracetamol, voltarol /naproxen. However, they seem to be of limited help. Could anyone share with me succesful experiences with pain killers? I am considering taking her to a pain clinic but not sure how

So my dear wife wanted to go shopping for bits and bobs and was going to get a taxi both ways so I said I'd join her. Dunelm. Nice cafe's and cake's etc for when I get bored I too it really easy and wore my new Skechers with no socks. I used one crutch (please don't chastise me) I didn't go flitting

is it possible to get this condition just be leaning sideways over a waist high fence? The pain I am in is terrible at night particularly exacerbated by covid. What can I do for this other than rub voltarol and take paracetomol? I’m on 2 steroids a day (for poly myalgia). Thank you

Following up from previous posts: Brief history : diagnosed with hypothyroidism in March after going to the DRs initially thinking my HRT needed tweaking, awful brain fog, hair loss, brittle peeling ridged nails, cold feet but extreme sweating at times incl night sweats, dry flaky skin, horrible joint

I've tried Voltaren, Duloxetine ( which did not stop the pain) Aleve, Tylenol, shot in the hip. I really don't want surgery, I'm 69. I even tried castor oil poultice.Id like just like to manage pain at night so I can sleep.... During the day when I'm up I can deal but nights are the worst.
