Yes, I have used it but always hated the noxious smell of the Voltaren brand. That was enough to make it a last resort, It was prescription-only until recently and very expensive. The copay was about $50 for a 3.5 oz tube until the patent on Dichlofenac, the active ingredient,expired and generic versions became available. The generic versions I have does not stink like Voltaren and can be found at Walmart at reasonable prices. BTW, the cost of Voltaren in Europe was less than $10 for the same size tube at twice the concentration of active ingredient. Typical rip-off by the drug company who made it.
