I use the topical over the counter gel, which helps for some things, but you have to be “on it” with remembering to use it as recommended by doc, (even though not RX, they recommend it) usually 3-4 times daily, otherwise I found it didn’t help…daaa
However, the diclofenac patches work very well for me, rx, and last longer than the 12 hours it says.
Expensive but effective. Look up good rx before you get the rx, and have RX sent to cheapest pharmacy. I found CVS to be the least expensive in my area.
Good luck!
