My doctor suggested I use this for osteoarthritis in my right ankle. My swelling and my rotation ability improved. I was later diagnosed with arthritis again in the center of my spine. This lotion not only removed the pain but also helped me sleep better at night.

This is a Nsaid recommended for joint paid caused by osteoartritis. Topical Nsaids containing diclofenac are Voltaren gel, Flector Patch and Pennsaid, a liquid. The oral version has been linked to liver damage. The patch should be safe to replace aspirin and other oral Nsaids that could cause stomach problems. The FDA approved the first topical Nsaid in2007 containing diclofenac.uqtnwk

Used on ankle for swelling at base of achilles tendon. Did nothing for the swelling and ended up hospitalized for abdominal pain after use 1 week.

I know this is for knees, but my dr. gave it to me to soothe pain in my toes. So far so good, 2 drops at a time once a day seems to work.

I had a partial knee replacement about 25 years ago due to a horseback riding accident. My knee has bothered me off and on since then. Now I am very overweight and started an exercise plan, I was in constant, terrible pain. I had to mentally steel myself to the pain before I got up from a chair! I went to see a pain management doctor, who gave me pennsaid to try. First application reduced pain. Next day I got out of bed and didn't realize I didn't have pain!! It's been a week now and I have NO PAIN in my knee for the first time in YEARS (except for times when I had steroid injections in the knee). This stuff is miraculous!!!Read More Read Less

I've had RA since I was 5. I've had 8 knee surgery's and both shoulders reconstructed from RA. My doctor started me on Pennsaid and it works but only for a short while. I just had knee surgery in Feb. and it's already swollen again from RA. I can't seem to find relief anywhere! :(
