I actually tried it for a month or so and it helped with the pain! I didn't like it long-term because it made me sleepy throughout the day, so if I use it, I think I would use it before going to bed. It might just be the kind I used though! I've heard it varies, but I don't know much about it.

No I do not. I probably won’t until it’s recommend. I have heard a lot of people say they use gummies to feel less pain. Interesting.
