This is not for pain.It is a supplement to promote joint health and none strength.

It is from Voltaren and is drug free.I have had Voltaren gel for topical use for years even before it became over the counter and required a prescription.

My mother's rheumatologist's nurse kept me supplied with samples every time I took Mom there.It is not recommended for deep tissue areas but for joints such as wrists,hands,elbows,feet,ankles and knees.I use it on my shoulder when needed even though it isn't listed.The diclofenac is an NSAID and is why it has to be measured.

If you are like me though when pain gets so intense "to heck with measuring".
