| 5 | Painful knees | No side effects at the morning dose but a mild headache in the evening. | When I took my first pill, I had immediate relief from knee pain that had kept me from sleeping well for over three months. It is a very good pain medicine for me. | F | 59 | 2 months 75 2X day | 5/29/2015 | 3 | spondylitis/ tondonitis | Tiredness, nausea, gurgling stomach, vivid nightmares, sudden and severe diarrhea, extreme vomiting | I was prescribed this drug by my doctor in France who has just started treating me for ongoing pain from spondylitis, tendonitis and chronic pain throughout my body. I have suffered widespread pain since a car crash over 3 years ago and tried all sorts of pain relief to no good , lasting effect. I also have pain in my ankles after walking about half a kilometer. Taking Volaren has helped to take the edge of the pain and the first two days were fine, but the evening of the third, I had sudden diarrhea that was nasty and then was violently sick. This is the day after- i feel weak and unable to face much in the way of food. I have just taken a pill today with a slice of toast and a little soup. I am hoping that I will be ok as I would like to give this drug a chance. If I am sick again I will have to revert to codeine and amatryptyline. Don't want to as that has caused me side effects too, worst being weight gain. I also take Omeprazole from the doctor to help counteract the potential for damage to the stomach from Voltatren. | F | 58 | 4 days 100 1X day | 3/9/2015 | 5 | in March 2014 I hurt my left foot | None so far | Limped for a year every step I took was painful I thought I was going to be like that for good was sent for xray and ultrarsound then eventually sent for an MRI which showed that I had multiple fractures I was on holiday at my sons and he gave me Voltaren I didn't take it every day I have never taken it before or was offered it but one day I noticed I was walking normally I couldn't believe it | F | 70 | 10 days 30 mg | 2/18/2015 | 4 | Arthritis , chronic pain | Rapid weight loss , nausea, | Relieves pain I have associated with multiple fractures and long term chronic pain however have lost 15 kilograms in two weeks since taking it , causes nausea, diarrhoea ,taking it with pain medication, no pain , felt fantastic stopped taking it due to weight loss however pain has increased and is more intense since stopped taking it , bloody mucous in stools while taking it | F | 37 | 14 days 1X day | 12/27/2014 | 4 | Arthritis due to multiple fractures | Servers stomach cramps, burping, diarrhoea ,extremely tired , nausea ,on the upside relieved bone and joint aches | Catch 22 relives body / joint/ arthritis pain but causes numerous side effects | F | 37 | 3 days 50mg 3X day | 12/22/2014 | 5 | Severe arthritis | Very minor: I find that some days I cannot tolerate burn-your-mouth-hot spicy foods without a little Pepto.
