Suggest Treatment For Severe Joint Pain And Knee Pain

I have knee joint pain, which is getting worse day by day. I use Voltaren gel to get rid of the pain. It works well with my pain. My question is, how many times a day I can use Voltaren Gel? Is there any Side Effects of Voltaren? I have stomach ulcer for which I take Zantac 150, twice a day. Can Voltaren cause more damage to my stomach ulcer.
