Members shared mixed experiences with Voltaren gel for osteoarthritis pain, with some finding significant relief that lasts while others noted effects only lasting about an hour. Several members recommended cost-effective alternatives, including the generic version Diclofenac Sodium 1%, Aspercreme with Lidocaine roll-on, and CBD Ugly Butter combined with heat therapy, with many emphasizing these options work well and are more affordable. A recurring theme was the importance of experimenting to find what works best for individual pain levels and being mindful of proper application, such as ensuring clean skin when using DMSO-based products.

I started using volteran. It is good for pain relief. Must be careful that there is no other substance on the skin where it is applied because it is DMSO, it will carry other substances into the body. My copays is 34.00. Only use it when absolutely needed.

I used the jell. It works good on knees and fairly well on backs. I use CBD Ugly Butter and rub on my back and then apply heat, works good and cheaper too.
