Diclofenac
"amazing stuff for joints and muscles alike.
after two surgeries, I use it along with pain meds for PT.
I use it in place of advil, aspirin or ibuprofin as an anti-inflammatory.  it's not just for your joints!  use it on muscle pain too, but remember it's real medicine so you need to pay attention to the bead measuring stick that's in the box.  less is more, so use it sparingly at first so you can add more if you need it."
