I was in a lot of pain in my lower back and shooting pain down my leg for months, and had increasing difficulty in walking and sleeping. I had been forced to use a cane, and a scooter to get around and I could no longer walk any distance. I had to stop physical therapy because the pain was too bad and epidural injections seemed to offer little relief. The MRI indicated that I had tissue from a her...

Pain from tense muscles and inflammation. This drug worked like a miracle, with no side effects. I have taken pain killers in the past (lor-tab, oxycontin, and muscle relaxers in the past and they did not even come close to the relief I got from this medicine.

this stuff should not be allowed to be sold. It dried out my sinuses so bad that when I had to blow my nose it became bloody and that was only after one capsule of 200 mg.

Lower back pain from arthritis and spinal stenosis has been relieved. When not taken in three days pain comes back. But, suffer from unusual tiredness. Wife helps me get awake in the morning. Keep the Hydrocodone, Celebrex, and Lyrica by the bed in the morning. It is just a circle of epidurals and facet injections with temporary relief from them while staying on the pain management regiment. So, you take your pills do the injections and keep going. Without them what can you do? There is no other options. Read More Read Less
