I suffer from degenerative osteoarthritis in my back, hips and knees and I am in constant pain. This medicine makes the pain tolerable to where I can continue working and having a somewhat normal life. Although it does not relieve the pain completely, I can certainly tell when I missed a dose.

I'm 16 with torn ligaments and it's really painful. This didn't do much for me.

I have carpal tunnel. I couldn't hold a coffee mug. I now rarely have pain any more. I will never quit this therapy unless forced.

this medication did nothing for my shoulder pain. Dr. thought it was arthritis but xrays dont point to it being arthritis. also had to cut back to one pill a day as it was affecting my sleep. actually keeping me awake.

I have sciatica and it is a great muscle relaxer, which eases the pain of very tight muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve.

This med doesn't touch my pain. I have fibromyalgia and a bad disc in my back and this is no more effective than a baby aspirin and it makes me sick to my stomach. Considering the side effects and it's uselessness I stopped taking it. [my dr. knows.]

I have fibromyalgia and all I can say is THANK GOD for this medication! It gradually decreased the pain until I felt I could make it without taking the medication any longer. After I stopped taking it is when I realized just HOW much it had helped me. I'll never miss another dose again.
