Hi,
I would like to know whether you want to buy it online or you want it buy in person.
If you are buying online, then you should be typing Diclofenac or Ibuprofen gel. In case you don't get these you can also type muscle relaxant gel or pain killer gel.
If you are buying in person also you can ask for similar names gel which I think should be available without prescription.
Keep me informed if you still have any doubts.
Bye.

Hi Donna,
It is indeed simple, go to pharmacy shop and buy Volini gel. Why there is so much confusion regarding Volini gel?
Is it that it is not prescribed to you and you still want it?
Is it that it is prescribed to you but it isn’t available in pharmacy near you? If that's the case you can log on to internet, Google for online pharmacy and you would be able to get Volini gel in a click.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.

Hi,
How are you feeling? How old are you? What is your name?
If you give little detail regarding your symptomatology it will helpful in discussing further.
I have seen your investigation results but those appear normal.
I would like to know where the pain is exactly if you have to point out with your index finger.
When did your pain begin, what were you doing at the time, and what were the initial symptoms?
Do you experience any grinding, locking, catching, or giving way of the knee?
Are there any positions that make your knee more or less comfortable?
What is the quality of your pain (sharp, shooting, dull, etc.)?
Have you tried anything to help the pain and, if yes, has that been successful?
Have you ever had surgery on your knee? Do you have any hip or ankle pain?
When any patient complains of “knee pain,” the initial differential diagnosis in most of the cases includes: Osteoarthritis, Ligament damage, Meniscus damage or Patello-femoral disorder.
Keep me informed.
Bye.

If you are not happy with the treatment the dr prescribed go to someone else.  Have you tried taking something like aleve? That is what my father takes for his knees.  Hope this helps.
