"long story kinda short! my knee swelled up where i couldn&#039;t even bend it. my mom gave me a tube of her gel. it worked right away when i applied it. great stuff. here&#039;s the best part though. i have a bulge in my lower back. i have meloxacam but i don&#039;t take it regularly because i feel that it don&#039;t help any. so one day my back is as hurting really bad so i decided to apply the gel. glad i did because wow! it works amazing! they should most definitely test it on the back. i know surgery will be the only thing for permanent relief but i&#039;m only 31 and one can&#039;t afford it and two it&#039;s not guarantee it would work and  could make my problem worse. next time i go to my doctor i will be asking for my own prescription."
