Yes I started taking it in Nov. It has helped with my pain. It does take about 2-3 wks to get into your system do you have to be patient. It’s not a miricle I still sometimes need pain meds sometimes, but has made a big difference!!!!
I have been taking it for 2 yrs now. At first it seem to work but then you still have to pay attention to not over working yourself . Like I mentioned I am still taking it plus they added more pain medication cause I have terrible headaches and back pain. So give it a try. It may work better for you, you won’t know unless you try it. If in a couple months you are on it and it’s not causing any changes. Let your Dr know they can prescribe something else. Good Luck!!
