User Comments about Voltaren
10 Jan 2012 I used it on my feet to treat sesamoiditis and saw no improvement in my symptoms, nor did I have any pain relief.

07 Jun 2009 Good porduct overall, i have been a sufferer of chronic knee pain for 5 years now (i am 21) and voltaren has been amazing. From the first time you put it on, you will notice a sharp decrease in pain, and a slight decrease in swelling. Its really nice to be able to walk around without all the pain that comes with everyday walking
