@lioness I've found that they really do help my arthritis pain. The Voltaren gel also has some nsaid, but because it's topical it doesn't go to organs. Thanks for pointing it out.

Because many folks who suffer from arthritis use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (nsaids) over the counter, the Univ. of AZ Med School and others used those folks to study other effects of the drugs.. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5882872/ ... One of the positive "effects" was the reduction of getting Alzheimer's Disease... but there are certainly many negative effects as well..

@jimhd your welcome I tried Voltaren capsules once but it didn't help all that much and I would rather do muscles rubs or Epsom salt rub which I love . I had a bad pain all over last night and bathed in the Epsom salts felt better right away . Yes rubs of any kind get into the body without getting in to the blood stream .
