Doctor Approved!
I had been suffering from tendonitis of my left ankle and nothing would work on removing the pain. So I went to my doctor who told me to use Voltaren Muscle Pain as it also contained aspirin and within 2 weeks the pain was gone and hasn't returned. Great Product!
Good alternative to Ibuprofen
For localized back pain, this is my go-to. The biggest drawback is that it's a bit expensive but I usually buy it on sale. It doesn't have an unpleasant smell and unlike other topical creams/ointments I've tried, it doesn't feel like my skin is burning off! It actually just feels like a cooling soothing gel. I've taken a ton of Ibuprofen in my day for chronic headaches and before this product, also every time I had a back ache, but now I feel a bit better about helping my liver out and going easy on the Ibuprofen!
Doesn't work as well as I hoped
I bought this awhile ago and have been using it often. It smells awful, because it has rubbing alcohol in it and while I find it helps to manage some symptoms of my pain, it doesn't work as well as I would have hoped it would, as opposed to other pain creams and salves I've tried. I don't think I would buy this again
Great product
I have been using this product on my lower back, neck, arms and shoulders for the past couple of weeks. It doesn't have a greasy feel to it which I like and the smell isn't too strong. Definitely helps with the aches and pains
Best pain relief out there
I received a free sample of Voltaren this week. I had low back pain come on after a particularly long stretch of shifts at work. I rubbed this on my back and could feel it instantly start working. A nice warming sensation and my muscles seemed less cranky. I also rubbed some on the side of my stomach as I had a stitch there too. Loved that it worked, absorbed well, and did not have that strong smell that lots of pain creams have
Great for targeted area
One of the best topical pain relief out in the market. It's not oily, not sticky, and absorbed into skin quickly. I like the texture because it goes into my skin fast and feels effective within a few minutes. When I have muscle pain, I prefer this than oral medicine because of the rapid effectiveness and easy application.
Pain be gone for a while then reapply
I use this on back pain and it does work, cN move easier than did before applied it. Have to reapply every so many hours as its just like tablets and wears off, but found this works better than tablets on back pain. Will continue to use it as and when needed
Works great! For a while..
I received a sample of this product and threw it in the cupboard. I found myself with a pulled muscle in my back and no oral muscle relief was working. I remembered my sample! After using the product I was VERY suprised by how well it worked, however it stopped working for me after about 20 minutes. I would definitely use again
IT WORKS!
At my work I am on my feet all day and I do a lot of lifting I come home with aches and pains all the time I use #Voltaren on my back arms and legs to help me survive the day without Voltaren I believe I would be in more pain. The smell is not as bad as other similar products. It feels ok on my sensitive skin and I have not had any reactions.
The only thing I dislike is my hands get really dry after using it.
I recommend using Voltaren!
For those of you who cannot wish to take pills, but suffer
When I first had used the Voltaren Emugel, I was very skeptical. However, I cannot take any NSAIDS whatsoever orally or I get very sick. I have tried most topical treatments for muscle and joint pain for my Spinal Stenosis and Active Autoimmune Arthritis, MCTD. So when I tried this I expected it to be similar to others and be a Peppermint essential oil base, feeling a burning sensation and be gone within an hour. But happily, there was no odor to it and it really decreased the pain! I will continue to use this! Awesome!!
