Life on Pred is bearable
I’ve always been massively active (horses, farming etc) but RA flares and the overuse of nurofen/
Voltarol
kept me going with quite bad joint damage. When I could no longer manage (live alone) I was given Prednisolone. The joy! I can’t do it all but I’m much more alive, thank God.

Pain
My GP has spoken on the phone to me and been given
voltarol
gel which helps a bit. Blood tests show raised inflammatory markers and rheumatoid factor. Have been referred to rheumatology as GP thinks rheumatoid arthritis. It's just getting me down.

Voltarol or Voltaren
Some one ask about this a while ago. It seems they are both the same , with similar colour packets and both contain Diclofenac . Mystery solved so to speak or puzzle resolved for those who were confused.

Argument with GP practice today
I asked for some pain relief gel (ibuprofen gel,
voltarol
gel and
voltarol
medical plasters if possible). They said because it was over the counter I would have to buy it and they would not prescribe it (I have pre-payment certificate so it is a lot cheaper to get it on prescription for me).

50k Sticks ‘n Stones long run done
Since my Sticks n Stones 50k was deferred to 2021, I decided to try it on my own. Turns out a lot of runners had the same idea so there was a race vibe in the air. And I started in the wrong direction 🙄, which turned out to be a great way to meet everyone! I am so fortunate to have two such kind friends

Achilles Pain
Ive given it a rub with
voltarol
and with a roller but it is still pretty tight and im limping quite heavily. Both sides are sore but mainly my right. I had issues in week 3 with sore calf muscles and just rested or a few days, slowed down and used a roller, which seemed to do the trick.

W6R3 Done
Didn't speed up a little for the last 60 seconds as Jo Whiley suggested and knees felt a bit stiff when I'd finished so had to head for the
Voltarol
gel......but that's OK?

A quick question
Has anyone tried Voltaren for arthritis pain. If so I'm curious on how good this cream does . This is sold over the counter but is prescription strength from what I've heard. How well does this cream help you if you are using this ? thanks for commenting in advanced .

Today took paracetamol and after shower used
voltarol
on my shin side..,.., midday 2 more paracetamol. - pain better. Do not think the pain is stemming from my hip anymore - just really in my side shin down to ankle. Pain is so bad I feel sick.

Anti inflammatories and Corvid
The exact post said "We have just been sent a medical alert that no one is to use anti inflammatories (eg I brufen,
Voltarol
, naproxen and there are others) for pain or high temperature. Use paracetamol instead.

Went to see a chiropractor
Meds r great if they work but my concoction of zamadol , oramorph, pregablin , methocarbonal , paracetamol , amytriptaline , venlaxafine and
voltarol
gel were hardly touching the sides. So I said enough is enough I want another opinion and paid to see a chiropractor.

Helter-Skelters. The real and the metaphorical.
I’ve whacked a load of

on it today but I’m not sure it’s kicked in yet as I’m not really all that up to jauntily tandem biking down country lanes like they do in the advert. I refuse to use those weighty, blood-drenched words that begin with

Desperate for pain relief.
I was prescribed
voltarol
suppositories 5 days ago & have managed to sleep for first time in over 6 weeks. But the daytime/ evening is still a struggle. I’m taking paracetamol & codeine every 4 hrs & have a heat pad but at times the pain is unbearable.
