"i use voltaren gel for shin splints. i experienced extreme pain from shin splints everytime i run for a few days in a row. this problem has been going on for the last 12 years. if i push through with the pain for a couple of weeks it will get so bad that i won%u2019t be able to walk for a couple of days. ever since my first year of track i haven%u2019t been able to run competitively. about six months ago as i was walking out of the doctor%u2019s office a sales rep came in with voltaren gel. the doctor stopped me to gave me the sample tube. with that tube i was able to train for a 5k race and come in 3rd. in a week from now i will be running a marathon. the gel has changed my life because it has brought relief to my legs."
