Hi,
Voltaren is an NSAID, unfortunately all of NSAID will have same side effects as Diclofenac (Voltaren).
So, above medications may not be tolerated by you. Thus your doctor may consider to prescribe you, narcotic analgesics like Tramadol, Oxycodone etc.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
