voltaren is used for treating local joint pains' date=' not for the headaches though. You can get it OTC in most pharmacies. It is also named diclofenac, I think.[/quote']

I was born with hip dysplasia so that would be great if it's for joints. It always acts up when it's starts to get cold out. I used to take aleve to help it but now that I can't I'm stuck. It's really been bothering me. Thanks for the tip.

Voltaren gel didnt work for me either for my back issues. I use a lidocaine cream now that works great. Voltaren is by prescription only as far as I know as well.

Lidoderm Patches by prescription also work well.

I used to suffer chronic Migraines as well as back neck and knee pain. No medicine (non narcotics) and I was taking so much that I started having problems with my GI system. I went to a Chiropractor and Physical therapy and I have no migraines (an occasional headache) now. My back and neck felt amazing. I discovered the migraines where from inflamed spinal nerves, out if line discs, and a poor neck curvature. My weight also played a HUGE role. Weight loss should help.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
