Why is this product not used for Back and shoulder pain?

I think it has to do with FDA regulations. In the U.K., Europe and Australia where this product has been on the market for decades, it’s frequently used for back pain. My mother used it for back pain in England in the mid-80s with no ill effects. She was advised to do so by our GP, and then again by an orthopaedic surgeon. In the US it would be considered off-label use, a practice that is not uncommon. P.S. The Canadians sell Voltaren Back and Muscle Pain with a slightly different formula (diclonefac diethylamine versus diclonefac sodium) that regulates absorption speed.

Why does it say not to use Voltaren on your back?

Hi, Voltaren is not approved for the relief of muscle pain nor back pain.

What is the percentage of Diclofenac sodium is in each tube?

Thank you for your question. it has 1% Diclofenac per tube.

This lists hand, wrists, elbow, feet, ankles and knees. Can this not be used on shoulders as well?

This is helpful and effective for shoulders, tendinitis, even hip pain. I have had it for years by Rx and used it on nearly every joint. It’s less effective on one’s back.

Good for neuropathy and restless leg syndrome.

Excellent product. I put it on my feet and legs before bed. It calms my neuropathy, my muscle aches, and my restless leg syndrome. It doesn’t take it away, but just enough to help me sleep.

Side effects and certain places where they say not to use it.

While it seems to work well please pay attention to the side effects. Also, it says you can use on hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, knees BUt not on your shouders, back or hips. Odd isn't it?

Do not apply to your balls. Works incredible where it’s supposed to just not in your balls.

Best OTC you can get for joint pain

The active ingredient in this product is the same as many prescription creams and ointments used to treat pain from inflammation, so this stuff REALLY WORKS!! Take into mind that serious injuries are not going to be fixed with a topical cream, but for general aches and pains as well as stiffness, this stuff does the trick
