Dear Kat,
PENNSAID is a combination of Diclofenac Sodium and DMSO. It works quite well in reducing the inflammation and pain of osteoarthritis. Eventually, we might both need knee replacement surgery, but it's my goal to put that off as long as possible. Voltaren (Diclofenac gel) plus DMSO gel help to reduce the inflammation and pain of osteoarthritis in the same way PENNSAID does. It's not perfect, but it does allow relatively pain-free movement. (except for downstairs walking). And it's much cheaper than PENNSAID. I recommend that you try it.
The fact that it also seems to clear up plaque psoriasis is a purely accidental discovery.
If you are taking an oral NSAID, discontinue it before using the topical.
Good luck, and please let me know if it works for you.
