| 2 | Upper outer leg pain from a fall | Numbness and Tingling down left arm, Left hand went numb had hardly any feeling in it could not pick up objects it also turned blue/purple and was very cold went straight to emergency they didn't know why the only thing we could think was I had a reaction to the Tablets.. It was a scary experience so I Stopped taking them... | Started taking the Voltaren Rapid Tablets again 1 week ago for 5 days but have been getting horrible headaches the pain seems to be at the back of my head and behind my eyes I also have a small hive/rash on inside of both wrist so I have disposed of Tablets looks like first time was definitely a reaction to the Tablets. | F | 33 | 2 days 25MG 30 3X day | 9/17/2013 | 1 | Inflammation of the SI Joint | I had an allergic reaction to this medication. My skin has be itchy, sore throat/burning/itchy, and numbness in tongue and gums. Stop med and been taking Benadryl. | F | 35 | 2 days 75mg | 9/8/2013 | 1 | shoulder arthritis | Took three pills in a day and a half and it put me in the er twice. Once for elevated bloodb pressure and dizziness... other for severe gastritis. Do not take this pill if you have stomach or blood pressure problems. Scary pill! | M | 39 | 2 days | 6/14/2013 | 1 | inflammation in lower back. | Stomach cramps, diarrhea, fatigue | F | 54 | 7 days 75mg | 5/18/2013 | 2 | lupus joint & hand pain | Made me very very tired, wanted to vomit but couldn't. Was to take one morning and night, couldn't take one in the morning or i was back in bed! My hands and hip pain remain. | F | 40 | 4 weeks 75mg | 5/5/2013 | 5 | spinal stenosis,muscle cramps | none | Stopped pain and muscle spasms the next day! I now take it as necessary. I also take a buffer with this. It is misoprostol 200MG. | M | 66 | 5 years 75MG 2X day | 5/4/2013 | 4 | Osteoarthritis of the hip | It helps relieve chronic pain but over time, causes intestinal pain and bleeding. I had symptoms similar to diverticulitis: blood in stool, pain. | I would be cautious about paying attention to cramping, intestinal/stomach pain which can lead to very serious conditions. | M | 63 | 1.5 years 100MG ER 1X day | 4/12/2013 | 1 | Anti inflammation | I was on Voltaren to work as an anti-inflammatory for my infection. The drug was horrible. On second day of my medication, I experience an excruciating pain in my stomach, like gastric - but much worse. Along with that I also had a sharp pain on my shoulder and couldnt sit straight. I was admitted to hospital after 20 min of the pain and given MORPHINE when my doc knew that I was on Voltaren. It was acute gastritis. Worst adverse reaction I have ever experience. Doc told me to opt for non-NSAIDs such as aspirin next time. | F | 23 | 2 days 40 2X day | 3/2/2013 | 2 | bicep muscle tear/cubital tunnel sy | no side effects whatsoever. after 12 days on voltaren (75mg twice daily) i am still bruising and having inflammation especially around my elbow where the ulner nerve is compressed. haven't noticed any difference/relief from this drug. i don't have anything bad to say about this drug...it just didn't work for me. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 75mg dr | 1/15/2013 | 3 | Muscle pain/weakness and back pain | I did not experience any, but only took 1 tab once a day for two days. | I found that Voltaren took away all my pain, i rarely use pain relief because i find it never helps or takes too long to take affect and just "soldier on". As i am only young and relatively healthy i did not experience any side effects... HOWEVER my parents both have had bad side effects.... so i dont recommend it if you suffer from High blood pressure, IBS, are prone to stomache ulcers, prone to reflux, heart burn or are an asthmatic. Otherwise if like me you are healthy and just need pain relief when nothing else will cut it just take one a day, and dont stay on them.. the chances of getting side effects seem to increase according to the length of time you continue using them (like most drugs) and the effectiveness of the pain relief can also wear off over time. | F | 28 | 2 days 25 MG 2X day | 1/10/2013 | 3 | Gout | 8 hours after taken voltaren, I had a severe allergic reaction. My skin felt like it was moving, and the itch on my head, genitals and lips was excruciating. My lips started to swell, then my tongue. Luckily I had an epipen in the medicine cupboard, and that saved me. | I had taken this medication many times before for gout and a bit of arthritis. This was the first time I had the reaction. I am now severely allergic to NSAIDs. | M | 48 | 1 days 50mg 2X day | 11/29/2012 | 1 | Fever and back pains | Severe stomach cramps and diarrhea | I will never use it again, worst drug ever | M | 21 | 2 days 75 2X day | 11/2/2012 | 1 | degenerative arthritis of spine | After 3 doses of this med over 24 hour period, my pain was better; however, I experienced severe stomach cramping and diarrhea. IBS, which had been under control, seems to have returned with a vengeance! | F | 70 | 1 days 75mg tab | 10/4/2012 | 5 | degenerative disc disease in neck | none whatsoever | I started taking voltaren twice a day and then switched to once a day which pretty much takes away all my pain. However, I have read so much on the side effects that I now only take it once or twice a week. I am 68 and if I take it every day I feel like a 25 yr old. It also takes care of all my arthritis pain as well. I love it and wish it didn't have so many side effects. | F | 68 | 3 years 75mg 1X day | 8/22/2012 | 1 | Severe sciatica/disc bulge | Taken for excruciating disc related shooting pains through my hips and down both legs. Was fine for the first 2 days, didn't feel much change in the pain but started feeling nauseous all the time which makes it hard to take because I need to take them with food. Havent had any for 2 days and still feel sick all the time, I'm supposed to take them for 3 weeks but I think I'll just go back to the dr and ask for the cortisone injection. | F | 26 | 7 days 50mg 3XD | 4/28/2012 | 1 | Shin splints/tendonitis | Severe stomach cramps and diarea. Headache and drowsiness. Only took two pills. Will never take again due to the severity of the side effects. Cramps so bad that I felt like removing my intestines. Very scary pills... I'm done with pills...forever. | M | 33 | 1 days 75 mg | 3/22/2012 | 2 | Sesamoiditis | my feet would turn red or purple, but otherwise no side effects | It didn't seem to help my feet at all. Didn't even decrease the pain a little bit and by the 8th it seemed to make it worse. I'm taking a break for a couple days and then might try it again. | F | 27 | 9 days 4 mg 4X day | 12/22/2011 | 1 | Lower Back injury | Eye problem, noticed after 1 day my vision was not the same, seem to be harder to focus, After putting 2 an 2 together I stopped taken the Voltaren Rapid 50mg, It has been 5 days sens I stopped taken them and my left eye is getting bad, loss of colour depth and everything is smaller and takes longer to focus then other eye, | dont take them, | M | 41 | 1 weeks 50mg 2X day | 12/17/2011 | 5 | pain in foot and arthritis | occasionally some leg cramps (in lower left leg only) if taken too late in the day. No side effects if taken before noon. | This drug has helped tremendously with aches and discomfort from the arthritis. Totally cured the pain in my foot from tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. | F | 65 | 30 days 75mg 1X day | 11/20/2011 | 1 | tendonitis, arthritis | This drug makes me so agitated--insomnia, hideously increased muscle tension, short tempered, impatient. | It really helped with pain in hand & arm, but the agitation is unbearable. I got spasms in my back from it and had to get therapy for those. I know it doesn't make sense with the tiny dose I'm taking, & they say no systemic effects from the topical gel, but I've gone on & off it 4 or 5 times now and the effects when using it are unmistakeable. | F | 55 | 30 days tiny dab 1X day | 6/18/2011 |
