pain
"I tried voltaren due to pain and stiffness in lower back maybe due to L5/s1 prolapse, (diagnosed on MRI but not a big one) and (probably) over doing things in the garden. I was waking up due to pain and found moving extremely difficult and painful. I was at the point of taking pain relief before bed and again at around 4 a.m. With no expectations but exasperation I tried voltaren. It really has worked very much to my surprise!!!  I did not expect such a good result or any result, I was just so fed up I grabbed a tube to mix up with the oral meds!  It's helped my sleep in a matter of days and I'm much more comfortable.  I don't take oral pain killers now and whilst I can still feel it, it's nowhere near the way it was. I can move properly again"
