Seen the doc feel loads better!
Got a shot of (
voltarol
) which eventually took the edge off. Went to see my GP this morning and he's changed my meds and given me some anti sickness and already I feel so much better.

Chronic Back Pain/Disc Trouble, Voltarol Prescription
Voltarol
was prescribed years ago and IT HELPS so much , reducing swelling and providing substantial relief. Yesterday my GP refused to give me
Voltarol
and gave me Naproxen instead. I could not get a straight answer as to why they will not issue
Voltarol
except that it can cause health issues.

Pain killer advice please! - At the moment taking Meveberine, Diclofenac, Co-codamol and still get pain.
Voltarol
gave me rash...but is this same as Diclofenac? - Diclofenac doesn't give me rash or take away pain! Buscopan was very good to me for a while but I got used to it and it is not effective anymore. I miss it though... What kind of painkiller are you taking, please?

What can I expect?
I was diagnosed a few weeks ago and sent off for a month with Hydoxychloroquine and
voltarol
. Should I be expecting more blood tests? I'm asking this question as I am not in the UK so probably the protocols followed there will not be followed here. Thanks for your input. Clemmie.

Can anyone give me any advice on coping with pain?!
I have tried mefanamic acid, cocodamol,
voltarol
tablets and suppositories and I'm now on tramadol. None of these seem to touch the pain they just make me sick and dizzy. Is there anything out there that can get rid of this pain and help me to lead a normal life?!

No jogging for me :-(
I tried heat, Ive tried cold, I've tried Ibuprofen and paracetamol (not together) and I'm now onto
Voltarol
gel. I can barely move my head in any direction. Was suppose to be my last run of week 8. I'm so disappointed and feeling very sorry for myself. :-(

Endometriosis and PCOS.
I am now taking
voltarol
as a suppository. It is the best pain relief i have ever had. Better than the morphine I was receiving in hospital. I am also having a hormone injection. Called Zoladex which stops the brain sending signal to my ovaries to make them stop producing estrogen.

What do you do for self help for hand flares?
Mine is probably more enthesitis than synovial inflammation, but my wrist is driving me mad at the moment and making it very difficult to change gear, carry anything, or use my hand to push myself up out of bed or out of a chair. I'm using voltaren gel and putting a soft splint on for short periods

GP Saga Continues... Anyone work for the NHS/have info for me?
He's also added in a low dose of
voltarol
and tramadol. It was my first appointment with the consultant - he didn't read my notes, didn't look at me, clearly didn't understand my condition and didn't ask me anything about my pain. My appointment lasted four minutes.

Swollen Fingers Knuckles and Wrists
I have seen my doctor and been prescribed both
Voltarol
medication and Gell to apply directly. Neither of those treatments worked and so I was prescribed Codine to help with the pain, and was sent to hospital for x rays. I was then referred to a Rhumatology clininc where I have been today.

The Document that All Endo Sufferers Must Read!
I even questioned a gynae on this once and he said it wouldn't make much difference - There is inconclusive evidence as to whether anti-inflammatories improve endo pain: I had one doctor tell me my pain couldn't be endo because
voltarol
didn't help it!

Week 5 Run 3 take two!
And thank the stars for
Voltarol
Cream. Dunno why but I seem to run much better in the dark. Maybe it's because I can concentrate on the music and there's less people around? It was tough going particularly after Laura announced the 5 minute mark and then the 10 minute mark.

Any alternatives to Ketoprofen suppositories?
I've been using 100mg
Voltarol
suppositories for the last week BUT my stomach is getting increasingly tender. There only seems to be Indomethacin ones left. The oral form gave me an ulcer 20 years ago. Anybody out there had a similar problem and been given ANY sort of alternative??

Goodbye week 8.....
Showered the knee in cold water, and applied some
Voltarol
gel straight after, and as long as I can avoid the stairs, I think I may be ok! So pleased to get this run out of the way though, and that I could still do it without having done anything for a week was an added bonus.

Was I have a flare up?
He gave me
voltarol
gel to rub into my joints instead, so I've taken no tablets since last Monday. My left wrist got progressively worse last week so started to wear my split again, but Thursday it hurst to bend my fingers, my wrist hurt and my right shoulder is absolute agony.

In agony, fed up and dunno what to do, from your experience is there any point in going to A&E?
I dunno whether my painkillers have lost their effectiveness or what it is, on
voltarol
suppositories & palexia which normally controls it.
