| 4 | chronic joint pain | Lots of stomach gurgling after eating, which has been consistent even after adjusting to the medication, and initial doses gave diarrhea for a few days. I have switched to taking it with a snack before bedtime with good results. | For me, it has been very effective pain relief for my chronic bone/joint pain from a broken elbow. So effective that I was able to substantially reduce the amount of narcotic pain reliever I was using once the Voltaren kicked in after about 2 days. | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 8/3/2007 | 5 | spondlylolisthesis/degen. disk | None | I have a slipped vertabrae and a degenerative disk. This medicine has been extrememly helpful. I don't take it daily, but at the first sign of a flare and it helps almost immediately. I tried Relafen, vicodine, flexeril and OTC pain relief and nothing has helped like this. | F | 32 | 6 months | 6/24/2007 | 4 | F | 60 | 4 years | 5/3/2007 | 1 | torn muscle in arm | It only took three pills only one a day to realize that the side effects can be quite dangerous. On the first night my heart was thumping pretty hard all night and weird chest pains. On second night same thing plus pain in my kidney area as well as stomach. The third night was all of the night before plus nausea and skin irritation. The side effects quit after 4rth night. Volteren did nothing to help my arm. | Even with a full stomach, this pill can be very hard to handle. Side effects can easily bring you closer to the grave. | M | 34 | 3 days | 12/13/2006 | 4 | adhesive capsulitis. | stomach upset and notable dehydration. | i would recommend plenty of food and water with this medicene. | M | 50 | 21 days | 11/5/2006 | 1 | tendinitis of the hand | unbearable stomach cramps on the fifth day -- vomiting for about 7 hours straight until I went to the Emergency Room. They ended up cutting out my appendix -- I think it was inflamed due to the medicine. | M | 24 | 5 days | 10/30/2006 | 1 | heel spur and plantar fasciatis | I have vaginal bleeding and cramping. . . it's taken me almost a week to realize this bleeding is due to the medication. The bleeding started almost immediately after taking the first dose. I initially thought I was having my period (even though it was not time). If anyone can give me info regarding how long this bleeding and cramping lasts, I would appreciate it. | F | 46 | 6 days | 8/30/2006 | 1 | frozen shoulder | I have vaginal bleeding and my vaginal skin burns a lot, my cycle was back (I'm menopausal ), breast pain Other symptoms I have: erithema, my skin is so dry I have little cuts on my hands, I 'm sweating a lot (usually I don't), pruritus ani etc. | I took it 3 times: the first for 3 days, then I stopped because it didn't make great improvements and I had diarrhea. My doctor told me the symptoms had to go away after taking few more Second time: I took other 3 pills in 3 days. little improvement with the pain. I had the first vaginal bleeding, a lot of pruritus and my skin was all red but I didn't know it was diclofenac. My doctor prescribed me a topical cream , did some vaginal test to exclude infections.

During the next 3 days the wheezing became a 24/7 side effect, with it being so bad at night, I couldn't sleep for more than 45 minutes. The wheezing literally woke me up, it was so loud. I also got a severe skin rash on the back of my neck, and on the back of one hand. | Doc said I was the first person in his practice who ever had an allergic reaction to this drug, and | F | 52 | 11 days | 3/27/2005 |
