Voltaren Cream

mickeymbbc · Nov 28, 2012

Anyone ever take diclofanc cream versus the orals from the doctor? Usually my doc prescribes me voltaren (diclofinac) pills, but I heard the cream works pretty well for tendonitis...

I never used Voltaren for tendonitis but have used it many times for muscle issues. It worked wonders for my rhomboid/lat strains. I'm sure it does tendons wonders too. Anytime I go to Turkey, I pick up about 10 tubes to last me a while. Just ran out though

They also make water soluble effervescent version of it now too I believe.

Good to know, I'll definitely check it out, thanks!

EDIT: Found a bunch but dayum they're trying to charge an arm and a leg.

I have used it before for muscle and joints and I really do like it.

My uncle who's a doc has quite a few samples of it at his place. He swears by it and wrote me a script for it once. It didn't really do much for me even though I used it religiously for a month straight.

Didnt do much for me either.

A few strongman competitors I know swear by the stuff. A friend gave me a couple of sample tubes last year. It worked pretty well for a bout of tendonitis in my patellar tendons.

Voltaren gel helped relieve some elbow tendinitis that I dealt with for quite awhile. There are a number of sellers on Amazon as well for a decent price, if you don't go the script route.

Just got prescribed the voltaren gel by Dr for a wrist issue call de quervain tenosynovitis yesterday.... Picked up 3 tubes at cvs...with my insurance it still cost me a hundo... ill be able to assess tha results in a few weeks.... I can tell you tho that I just took almost 6 months bc of ongoing tennis elbow in both elbows... I was precribed (not sure exact spelling) "prednisone" pills to take for a week.... They healed so fast I was amazed... Went from about 15% to 85% in 2 weeks...I couldn't train at all, and household normal shit killed them, a few weeks later and I'm back in tha gym w no pain pulling or pulling... I think u can only do 1 prednisone treatment a year tho, I'd ask ur dr about it... It worked a miracle for me...

cool thanks brother

I used the gel for a month and it didn't help my chronic elbow tendonitis very much.
If youorder online, just make sure you're careful about not combining with other nsaids.

I went thru a tube myself over the past couple months and honestly I believe it works very well better than any other topical cream I've ever tried. I apply the stuff pre training to joints and or muscle which might formerly get inflamed.
I recommend and endorse Voltaren Gel

Some sources carry it for fairly cheap. I went through 3 tubes and it really helped my strained shoulder.

BIGCH · Nov 28, 2012

Yes I condone this very much, good stuff here

I use Ibalgin Gel. Best one out there. Kills back sprains like nothing else. Even had a bad inject in the tri last week...all swollen...took it out in one night.
