"i got this a week ago from my doctor, i&#039;ve been having severe back pain and shooting pain. in the past i&#039;ve tried everything pain killers, lido patches, steroid injections, physical therapy. i put on 2 grams of the gel and the agonizing ache that i&#039;ve had was gone in no more than 30 seconds. i still get the shooting pain but that&#039;s a nerve issue. i really, really love this gel."
