Volatren NSAID Gel Causing Bad Side Effects....

[LB_Patriot]

I was given a small amount of Volaten NSAID Gel for some aches and muscle inflammation and it seemed to help. So I get script for it from my GP and started using it daily at a much higher quantity than I was initially (following directions). I slowly noticed irregularity in my bowels and in the past week started getting severe bloating, water retention, and the worst thing, constipation. I am very regular with going to the bathroom, its usually like clockwork. I haven't gone in 3 days now, I'm always very bloated, and my weight is up about 5 pounds. I didn't know what the hell it was from until it clicked last night. I stopped applying the gel as of yesterday and hopefully it gets everything to come out of me and get me regular again but I wanted to know if anyone else has heard of this?

I did and internet search and it appears this is a side effect, although no very common.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
