Awalkspoiled - thanks for that info, I am pleased to know there is a scientific reasons for those things working so well(instant). Voltaren gel works well too and bye-passes the digestive system where it can be harsh. I have utmost respect for anyone keeping on sailing into their 70s - quite an achievement.

(Karen - we re-met at Dorans sometime last year. Currently overseas in Asia for another year or two).


So Voltaren is ok to use if you can't use normal anti inflammatories?
I can't take oral ones.

I can be smashed after 15km in rough water or do 160 on the flat stuff and back it up again the next day. Conditions make a difference. Im not super relaxed on the foil yet but gets better each sesh. Love to slap still

Hi sboardcrazy, I am not a doctor but the information on this on the web on reputable sites indicate this. My wife can not tolerate them either but seems to have no issues with topical gels. I'd ask at a chemist or docs if taking them is serious for you.

Didn't turn up !? Years of vacuous trolling must be getting boring.

I'm generally ok without them but it's nice to have a backup plan..
