Amazon Basic Care Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel, 1% (NSAID), for Arthritis Pain Relief, 1.76 ounce (Pack of 1) (Packaging may vary)

Diclofenac is my go to medication for joint and muscle pain. My first experience with it was in the hospital when I was treated for a septic elbow. It relieved the intense, burning pain in moments. At that time, it was prescription only and I wasn't able to get any more under Medicaid> Now that it's OTC, I have switched from using Biofreeze or an arnica gel to this affordable, and more effective formula.

I have knee and back issues and this helps to knock the pain out or at least to levels I can tolerate. Works as good as the name brand and at a better price.

this product works for me. I have used it for years. I get this brand at my pharmacy, but I forgot. I often times mix in in with my body lotion. It works in a very short time. I use it on my neck, shoulder, hand and hips. I don't find it overly greasy and it does not come off on my clothes. I know I can always get the cream at amazon and it is convenient. I don't have to make an extra trip , which I hate to do. It interferes with my pain for 4-6 hours.

I prefer some other products but this works well. Be aware that it has a 21 day use limit before you need to stop using it for a while.

This stuff really works. Wish it would work longer, but satisfied with what it can accomplish. When my joints ache with pain, just rub some of this on and instant relief follows. You may need to put some more on after 4 or 5 hours, but it does what it is made for.

Seems to work as well as name brands. Great price and easy to use. Does relieve miner pain. Stays on better with a bandaide.

Works as well as major brand but much cheaper.

I've ordered this product several times in the past and found it to be what seemed like e exactly the same formulation as Voltaren brand. The last tube I received is longer and smaller around but containd the same amount of product. I have noticed the past few days since I started using it, I have knocked it off my nightstand at least twice a day because of the longer tube. Tonight I looked more closely at the label and noticed the distributer name, address, and phone number are different than my old tube. Also, the cream looks, feels, and smells different. It is more white, seems to have more of a drying effect on my skin and while it still has the strong alcohol smell, it also has another scent that lingers long after the alcohol is gone. It's a familiar smell but I can't place it. Maybe like a soap, lotion, deodorant, or men's aftershave? It's not horrible, but it is different. I just thought people should know. I wish Amazon would have kept selling the original formulation, even if the price would have had to go up a bit.
