Ang,
I tried Voltaren 100mg 2x daily for several months with zero result. I
finally got my pcp to refer me to an orthopedist. He found that there
was a bone torqued in my hip. They fixed that with PT and put me on
Relafen 750mg 2x daily and voila! It did not completely resolve my endo
and sciatic pain but did make a noticable difference. I've also found
that I don't have to take it every day. Sometimes I'll pop one instead
of a Darvocet and get almost the same result as the pain pill.
