Voltaren gel

Posted by toddybob @toddybob, Sep 19, 2022

My wife has chronic pain in her hip and hamstring. MRI negative. Physical Therapy no help. Acupuncture no help. Is Voltaren gel safe to try? I read it can cause liver damage.

@colleenyoung my doctor just recommended cbd without a specific brand. He did say broad spectrum so I only get .03% thc. I ended up with Cornbread balm. It seems good and it will arrive tomorrow. I ordered it on the internet. Hope that helps.

I find Voltaran very useful. When I wake in the am my hands and arms are numb. I put a small amount on my back neck scar, and in 20 minutes I can move my hand. Like others have stated, I had a GI bleed and hospitalized about 10 years ago. So I was advised to use the gel; make sure you measure it with the plastic strip in the box.
