Providing you don't have any blood clotting problems voltaren works really well you will have to adjust dose depending on your pain but it has been very successful, however it is not recommended for use over long periods of time, you are supposed to take a break from it which might make it not worth your while but they also make a voltaren cream, you can but low dose tablets and the cream from the chemist but a larger dose is needed on a prescription.

What about some kind of anti-inflammatory medication? Motrin, Aspirin. If the pain is that severe why don't you ask your Dr. to put you on vicoprofen. You don't need to suffer like that.
