Default Hey Arthrtis people...

The doctor finally gave me a med that actually works!! So I thought I would share.

Voltaren--> About 2 hours after my second dose I was walking around the house and realized my ankle was not popping every time I took a step and the pain in my ankles and knees was gone!

Pain in the back is still there but not as intense. For some reason the other NSAIDs didn't seem to work at all.

This is the first time I have been impressed with a medication. It doesn't give me the tummy ache that I get with most pain killers, and it doesn't knock me out. Feels like the swelling has gone down in the joints.

It is starting to wear off, but the pain that was a 10 this morning is now around a very manageable 2.
