would this be as effective as prescription Diclofenac?

I'm not familiar with the prescription medication but I can tell you Australian Dream is considerably better than something like Blue Emu for pain relief. My wife uses Australian Dream just about everyday. It's not greasy, no odor and acceptably effective. I'm 69, retired and back working in a factory setting. Some days my knees are on fire and Australian Dream relieves the pain so that I can sleep. At least if you try it and it doesn't help you can get all of your money back. Good luck.

I have tried many creams for arthritis and some help very little. I saw the commercial several times and went to a drug to buy. Leaving the store I thought I know I am not spending this kind of money .It was 17.00mfor 2 oz.I put it on my knees and on my husbands back and shoulders and it works.can not explain it but I highly recommend it.Have not had to have knee replacement and pain is gone. use every day. yes it is better no side affects

I don't know if they are the same product. Arthri-D did not provide any relief for me. JMJR

Depends on dosage and absorption. I saw results in ten days or so taking two capsules a day. In fact I didn't SEE IT at all, that's when it just dawned on me that the pain was gone or greatly minimized. Miraculous for my severe osteoarthritis. Must be taken with fat or oil to be absorbed.

Works better than pain medication. One cup a day has worked for me. I seen a positive change within four days. It does have a bitter taste so I mix a little honey with each cup. I'm now pain free.

It is really very hard to say, I have never had to use it more than twice in a 24 hour period. I do not think that there is any better product available with out a prescription.

I've been contemplating the same thing for some time now. Both are 6,600 MG and both seem to absorb for me just fine. The powder form is a smidge cheaper when you look at cost per serving, but IMO, it's a negligible difference (.03 cents) give or take depending on whatever deal may or may not be going on. My mom claims that the powder is more effective as it absorbs more readily for her, but I don't know. I have little to no issues with either form but pills are easier for me. I will say...they're not tiny, but they are not as large as the big glucosamine pills so meh.

I use the powder MSM (4 gms per day) for joint pain, my husband uses the TriMedica liquid. They are both good. You could use either one with satisfactory results. I would not combine the two, there is no need.

I agree with Lourdes and Patricia - please consult with a doctor. This is for inflammation, not sure how it would work for you. Good luck!

I took the bottle to my doctor before I started taking it. He said he didn't (couldn't) guarantee that it would work, but there was nothing in it that would hurt me or not "play nicely" with my other medications. Both my husband and I take and we noticed a difference in our achy joints and back.

This cream has stronger % of lidocaine and numbs the area. It can not be compared the prescription patches if that helps. It did help my partner who has back pain.

It works for any joint or muscle type pain. However, we are not talking the strength of aspirin or stronger meds. In my case I can not take aspirin or anything but Tylenol type pain pills. The cream adds to that and eases aggravating aches and pains. Ir does take a a bit of time. I put it on and some 10 minutes later realize, " Oh, it doesn't bother me as much as it did." And I can then do some activities with my hands that would have been difficult earlier. One of the best advantages is that you can reapply several times a day, unlike pain pills where you have to wait 4 to 6 hours. Hope this helps you. It works for any joint or muscle type pain.

I may not be the best case for evaluating the oil. I suffer from arthritis and am always looking for something to relieve my symptoms. I am trying to get back into golf after right hip replacement but seem to aching all over now. I cannot afford to invest in unproven supplements and need to avoid the high cost ones like Ruby oil.

If it is an inflammation then I think it should help to some extent because this is an anti - inflammatory ointment. If it doesn't, the manufacturer offers a money back guarantee. I hope it will help you if you decide to get it. Best Wishes!

I use it for my osteoarthritis on my knee.It helps a bit. So I don't take my NSAID when I use the Penetrex.My doctor said do not take both the drug and the topic ointment as they go to the blood stream the same time.(My doctor prescribed Voltaren).I haven't tried the Voltaren yet.Wait till the Penetrx is used up.On the Penetrex's instruction it says also for people with plantar fasciitis.

I agree with beach sitter. I feel this supplement has helped my osteoarthritis in my knee....After 3 injections of Orthovisc. ~10 years ago, I had Meniscus surgery which prompted my osteoarthritis. It has been 6 mos. since my injections. Not hot to trot for A knee replacement. Take Aleve/Advil. Ice my knee. Good luck to all, <3
