Voltarol (diclofenac): is this NSAID okay for people with ITP?
Does anyone know whether it's okay for people with ITP to use voltarol (diclofenac gel) as a topical application? It's an NSAID, which we're told to avoid because of the effect on platelets, but is enough absorbed through the skin to affect platelet levels?

Blue Horizon Microbiome Malarkey
So here I am waiting for the results of an XRay on my knee and clutching at straws and doobies to not feel overwhelmed by the freaking pain I'm in. My beloved Voltarol is doing nothing much. Anyway, Blue Horizon has just sent me this promo email for a microbiome test, which then results in a 35-page

Thank you all! Plus update
Firstly thank you to everyone who replied to my desperate cry for help last week. I'm truly grateful and you a helped me get through the weekend! I had a blood test yesterday and the Rheumy nurse just rang me. One indicator is up so they have doubled my Leflunomide to 20mg a day. The other indicator

diclofenac / voltarol
I’ve been having this medication for over a week now. When I has during my holiday I had to buy it from Doha. A different name I think. But for the past few days I’ve been feeling nauseous soo many times during the day. Has anybody else taken this medicine? Had this side effect? I’m assuming the nasuea

Pregnancy pain relief
Wondering if anyone has any tips for pain relief while pregnant? I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and today I've really struggled with pain across my entire back, to the point I've laid in bed sobbing tonight. My usual go to would be deep heat/voltarol/ibuprofen gel but none are able to be used during

Is anyone using Voltaren?
My doctor recommended
Voltaren
following a recent knee sprain. He said it wouldn't interfere with my Xarelto since it's applied topically. I'm still a bit hesitant to try it. Anyone here using it?

Diclofenac (Voltaren)
is Diclofenac , 1% solution, 4 mg. 4 times a day OK to use while on prednisone? I’m currently on 9 mg. My GP says it’s fine because it’s topical, not systemic. I’ve tried it 3 times and it really helped my shoulder pain. I have osteoarthritis and possibly other causes for the pain. I’m

muscle strain
Good morning all. On Wednesday I turned in my seat and felt something go and since then I’ve had a soreness in my side that is very tender to touch and incredibly painful when I turn, particularly in bed. I’ve been on prednisolone for 4 years now for PMR and GCA and I’m currently on 5.5 mg so I’m wondering

Different symptoms on reducing
I have had PMR for nearly seven years and have been on prednisolone for six and a half. I seem to be beyond adrenal problems as fatigue symptoms which have been an issue since 8mg are now barely there at 2.5mg. BUT my elbows and thumbs are really quite painful. Paracetamol and voltarol gel do not help

Stomach and right rib pain?
Doctors thought due to stress and maybe the
Voltaren
I was on for hip inflammation. Since then, I have had all sorts of tests done and all the doctors say I'm fine and just keep writing me prescriptions for omeprazole.

Help with Neuralgia
I used to suffer from this excruciating nerve pain, affecting me behind the right ear, so badly even
Voltaren
injections only brought temporary relief. Then I changed doctors and the new lady put me on a series of Vitamin B12 injections. The pain was gone in a day.

Opinions on Hemp creams.
Hello everyone, I've recently decided to purchase some compression gloves for my hands and this cream called Hemp Active cream by 5kind popped up on my screen. It has a lot of good reviews but they also have a stronger version. I'm posting this because I've used Voltarol in the past and it doesn't really

Waiting for biologicals to kick in!
Hi guys, hope your all keeping well. Well as you know I started Humeria a month ago and it has been an agony time! I have been in so much pain all over, especially my hands and wrists! I phoned rumey nurse up on Thursday and then phoned back on Friday. I asked for some steroids or a steroid shot to help

Pain by left ribs
I have had worsening pain and swelling by my left ribs since having pericarditis and an effusion . I saw my gp and she said it could just be that my chest is more prominent that side . It’s so bad now that I have started using voltarol gel along with strong pain relief to try to sleep, if I lean forward
