Jeri Altstadter you said Voltaren for pain and my neurologist said to try it for my acute gut pain, but the box says ONLY for arthritis pain

I have used Voltaren in the past for arthritis pain but cannot imagine how it would help gut pain! Even though some meds can be used for other than their primary function I would definitely get a second opinion on that one!
