Diclofenac is the primary ingredient of Pennsaid. What makes Pennsaid supposedly different is a carrier molecule (DMSO) that allows the NSAID (the diclofenac component)to penetrate through the skin and soft tissues and into the joints. This is Pennsaid's advantage, and likely the main reason FDA approval is still pending.

I know nothing topical that works for a hip..........the hip joint is not near the skin surface. I did write an earlier reply to your post but guess I didn't hit the final submit button cause I don't see it here. have you tried any exercises? I have lower back troubles and keep pain free by doing lower back strengthening exercises. If I stop the exercise ( walking included) I end up with trouble in various joints.
