For those who have found pain relief thru other methods - HOORAY for them. I have tried every med and procedure the Neuros and Pain Specialists offered including Lyrica. They just didn't work for me nor did exercise and supplements. After 15 years of horrendous pain I started these patches on 1-9-02 and my life literally changed.
So, if whatever you use or take works - then stick with it - and be thankful.

Dan...I think you are a testament to the fact that you have to try everything....but ya stick with what works. If one of these Docs actually stumble on something that works, you do it. I would eat a moonrock if it worked.
