Voltaren Gel

[Cookiecrum]

Just wondering if anyone here uses cream/gel for pain? I used it last night and I don't know if it was because I was really really tired or it was this gel but I slept the whole night. Which I haven't done in almost 2 years. It is only a nsaid. The only thing is I am still tired and I could go back to bed all day.

Yep...I've been using it on different body parts for about a year now. Works great especially on the small joints. Glad you got relief and were able to sleep.

Yeah me to. I have never heard of anything like gels for pain. Glad they have it though because pills and I don't like each other...lol
I took pills after my first surgery because the pain was crazy and I got sick alot and it made me so sleepy I would just sleep so much. Stay home and not be able to anything.

Cookie...I'm not much of a pill person either. I am med sensitive and have all sorts of horrible side effects or they just don't work. I have Fibromyalgia also. My Rheumatologist told me that narcotics don't work well on people with Fibro. I always wondered why whatever they gave me didn't work on the pain. I have better luck with an anti-inflammatory than anything else. I like the Volteran gel because it doesn't effect my stomach at all like the pills do.

I have only used it for one day, today is two days but it did help. And hope it continues to help. How long have you used the gel?
