good morning. your lower back pain can be caused by several different things. you did not mention what you do for a living, nor your height, but being 132kg may be a major problem for that back pain you are having. voltarene is an anti inflammatory, whose overdose may cause severe gastric problems, so be careful not to increase the ose pescribed by your doctor.
my advice is that you try to loose weight, an also go and see a phyician to examine your back, because Voltaren will educe the pain but not treat the cause of the problem. have a nice day
