I'm glad to hear that it is starting to help you. My Rheumy told me that he can formulate Voltaren into a stronger dosage if I need. I'm tempted to check into it when I see the PA in March. But yesterday when my foot started to hurt, I rubbed it on when my pain meds didn't kick in fast enough and it took the sharp pain down to a tolerable level in something like 10 minutes.
I seldom use it 4 times a day but have used it twice a day on my feet, hands and back/neck. I was really glad when they made it OTC.
