Found it. There were quite a number of websites about it, but this is a quote from "ScienceBlog"

Voltaren (75 mg twice daily) was associated with rates of heart attack that were 51 percent and 63 percent higher, respectively, than placebo. An analysis of a large number of trials comparing COX-2 inhibitors to other NSAIDs found similar results – that Voltaren was estimated to increase vascular risk by about 70 percent over Aleve.

I don't know how that relates to the creme form, but it's good to know about some of the side effects.

I am glad it is working for you, Dale.
