I have muscle tightness in my neck shoulders back and upper arms. Its always very tight and sore does anyone have similar issues?

Hi again, The Orange Voltaren is weaker than the Blue, the only way my Dr will prescribe it for me is by using the Ingredients apparently they can't use Product names. If its any help I will write you the Ingredients for you to give your GP. The Blue lasts a little longer, let me know. Wish you well.

Yes, my dr even noticed how tight my muscles were in my upper back neck area - even while taking muscle relaxers.

I use the Voltaren 24 hour one.Its only meant to be used twice a day but sometimes I use it more. It only helps for a short while just reducing the pain but not taking it away. The cream is in the Blue Package not Orange. I also find the Hot Pressure Shower woks for me to. Wish you relief

Absolutely! My family doctor has told me multiple times that my entire body is one big muscle spasm 24/7. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Gentle hugs sent your way!

Oh my god yes. This is the hardest thing to explain to people. Even my SO will tell me to keep working my muscles because it will go away. No though, it's felt like this for about 17 or 18 years.
