It really and truly helps, if you are patient enough with it (not for my legs unfortunately).
They are phasing the medication out of treatment plans more and more, I hear, though. Especially in university hospitals. But there aren't many alternatives for it, so they're basically stuck.

I noticed they aren't using it much also- although I read somewhere that they did if bone loss was noticed. I have to ask my doc about that because I do have bone loss in my affected foot, but no one has said anything about doing anything. I pretty much forgot about it until I saw your post. So thank you for the reminder 😊 We are our strongest advocates.
You are on it for pain relief or more for blood flow? I admit I don't know much about it. I have to do some research I just haven't been able to do much lately.
I'm glad that it's working for you even though it took longer to work.
I continue to pray for less pain for you (and everyone reading these threads because I believe prayer can bring relief in many ways)
