Question: I suffer from osteoarthritis in my knees I have been prescribed Panadol osteo they are only helping for about 3 hrs then the pain is back so not really helpful.I can not take any drugs in the morphine family as I am allergic to this drug. Whilst on holidays 3 weeks ago I was told to try Voltaren Rapid 25(by a family member) and was amazed at the relief I gained from these tablets .Question Can one take these tablets day after day what I have been doing is taking them one day getting relief then suffering for another two days then taking them again. I am still on holidays and will be home on Monday, have a appointment with my Doctor on Wednesday 3 September. I am 73 years young, female 5ft 7,64kilos and up till now very fit, attending a gym 4-5 days a week enjoying pilates,weights,boxing and water arobics. I am to have a MRI on Tuesday but in the meantime would like to be able to control this pain. I am taking what the dosage is on the pack first dose 2 then another 1 after 8 hrs.
I hope you can advise me on this.
