The most important thing to know is that this gel is aimed ONLY at particular body areas and ONLY for pain from arthritis.
☆ Hand
☆ Wrist
☆ Elbow
☆ Foot
☆ Ankle
☆ Knee
Aleve states that their studies show that the gel does not help with pain from strains, sprains, bruises, and sports injuries. So people should not risk side effects for that type of pain.
The instructions say that it may take up to seven days to work, but you should stop using it if there is no relief after seven days. It also warns that people allergic to aspirin should not take it, as the gel can produce an allergic reaction (hives, blisters, rash). And it also has the same "liver damage" potential as the pills.
Active Ingredients: Diclofenac Sodium 1% (NSAID*) (Arthritis Pain Reliever), (Equivalent to 0.93% Diclofenac), (*Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) Inactive Ingredients: carbomer homopolymer Type C, cocoyl caprylocaprate, fragrance, isopropyl alcohol, mineral oil, polyoxyl 20 cetostearyl ether, propylene glycol, purified water, strong ammonia solution
The gel has a slight medicinal smell, but not bad. It is absorbed quickly, and it is not sticky. I found it helpful with slight knee pain.
I hoped to use it for arthritis pain in my neck and shoulder, but this gel does not target those areas, so I am a bit disappointed.
