It has helped me with my lower back pain. I got lower back surgery four years. The after math of surgery left me with lower back pain for life! I needed some kind of medication to help me with my pain. I also take Lyrica. So far no problems with this medication.

At first this drug didn't seem to be working, but after about 4 weeks I noticed I had no pain at all in the areas affected, especially my enlarged toe joints, and can walk and use the treadmill with no pain in my joints.
