"for years, i have had l1-l2 pain from a compression fracture and moderate disc degeneration. the pain relief from this is so much better than anything else i have taken, and i can go about my normal life without feeling drugged up like oxycontin or other narcotic pain killers.  not 100% relief yet though.  i&#039;ve only had it for a few weeks and my doctor and i are still working to find the right dosage.  i&#039;m on 15mg every 8 hours at the moment and will probably move up to 20mg soon.  it&#039;s very promising though."
