Has worked for me, mostly, but my issues are with repetive nerve reaction, not pain. Have had only one real side-effect, but my family has weird reactions to drugs...bleeding gums. Doc said to watch for bone pain, but only had mild bone pain in elbows.
Very true statement from SallyC: different results for different people; as we all know, different sypmtoms at different times.
Hope you have an easier time with your symptoms & have a really relaxing weekend!
