This is interesting to hear your experience—thanks for sharing. But doesn’t Voltaren gel contain NSAIDs?

Yes, but only a small % of it reaches your bloodstream, and none ends up in your stomach to irritate it.
We have used it for many years, long before it was widely available in the US, and even my husband nephrologist allows it with his CKD. I believe the situation may be different if you have liver failure.
