RE: new meds
Hi BG,
I take Lyrica with no problems and it helps me immensely ...but I know many others on here who cannot take it because of an array of not so good side effects. I have no experience with the gel. All I can say is give it a try, but watch for side effects and alert MD asap if it happens to you. Take care & Good luck w/ the meds. Lilly

RE: new meds
buildergirl..I have used Volteran on my foot and ankle and it helped. I can't take Lyrica but Neurontin has helped the nerve pain in my toes especially. Same type of drug. Best of luck.

RE: new meds
I took lyrica and lost my sight for three months. If you vision starts to blurr call the doctor and stop the med. As for the cream have not tried it.
May God send his angels to hold you in his arms |

RE: new meds
What was the gel that Sweets Dr gave her for pain?. She said it was new. I wonder if it is the same......

RE: new meds
Voltaren Gel is the first prescription topical treatment for osteoarthritis that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Voltaren Gel -- a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID -- in topical form, will mostly be used on knees and hands. Voltaren Gel delivers effective pain relief and has a favorable safety profile. The systemic absorption of Voltaren Gel (1 percent diclofenac sodium in topical gel formulation) is 94 percent less than oral diclofenac (generic for Voltaren).
