"my pain management doctor prescribed this for hip bursitis.  i have not experienced any pain relief from it at all. i&rsquo;ve been using this topical gel for several months and it was only until approximately four months later i associated itching all over my body after i use the gel.   i thought it was my imagination but i have tested it out several times, i am not itchy in the area that i apply the gel, but it must get into your bloodstream and i have several areas of my body that start itching at the same time. so in addition to not feeling any pain relief, i am reacting with all over body itching. i will now we put this back to my doctor, and hope to find pain relief for my hip."
