Not for severe arthritis sufferers
I got a free sample of the regular gel to try .
I suffer from severe arthritis in my feet and knees and mild arthritis in my hands, so I look for quick relief when I am in pain.
I found that the regular strength just didnt cut it, I had to reapply often to have a little relief for about 40 minutes or less.
It Just made me Uncomfortable
I work in a job that requires a lot of lifting. as a result I often get pain in my lower back muscles, My mom gave me some voltaren to try. NOT RECOMMENDED if you have sensitive skin! I broke out. Now I understand that the breaking out is more specific to me, but it didn't even work. It gave me the heat and cold feeling on surface level. but I still felt the pain in my lower back.
I'm on the fence for Voltarin
By recommendation from a hockey coach, I got Voltaren emulgel. (I am very sportif, i was figure skating, playing hockey, and now am a pro wrestler.) Voltarin HAS worked for me, but it is hit or miss. It doesn't always do the trick, i have alot of aches and pains and a "hit or miss" product doesn't do it for me. I want 100% of the time, not "it may or may not this time".
Not for me
I was recommended this by my doctor to use on my ankle for arthritis. I used it daily for a month and found no relief from it at all. It is really greasy and smells weird and it is just not for me.
I have arthritis in my fingers. I purchased this quite a while ago and I must admit that it didn't work very well. I found it also wears off fairly fast. Had to keep apply everytime I wash my hands. I find Advil or Tylenol work better for what I have.
I have sciatic pain for a few weeks now and tried many over the counter products to relieve my pain. Bought Voltaren Gel and found it worked for at least an hour, then I had to reapply.. Directions on package says Appy up to 4 times daily. Sorry but I gave this a pass..It was ok but nowhere near great.
I have tried this pain relief cream multiple times and found that it was not effective at all. I often ended up using another pain relief cream. I even went to a pharmacist to ask about why I was feeling no relief and I was told it sometimes takes up to 4 applications before it works! Nope! Not for me, if I need pain relief I'm not waiting all day for it.
this product works just okay. For the price it costs.. an arm and a leg, one may as well pay for massage therapy treatments. If they bring the price down, maybe make it with higher dosage of medicine in it, I would try it again.
I have tried this a few times just to be fair in my assesment of the product. I personally do not like it, as i feel it is not strong enough. I prefer it to penetrate i to the tissue and to feel some comfort. With this product I did not feel that. It felt similar to wearing lotion.
I didn't feel that this gel did much for me. I have nerve damage though, so it's probably not meant for that. It feels soothing on, but I didn't notice a major decrease in pain. Also wash your hands A LOT after putting it on. Getting this stuff in your eye is hell
