When I first put it on it actually made me hurt worse than before but I pushed through and after 20 or 30 minutes the pain lessened significantly. It DOES NOT take the pain away completely but does alleviate it a lot. So much so that I was able to drive around, shop and just live life semi-normally. Even when taking eight aspirins a day along with other meds, I was still in a lot of pain while sitting, lying down, walking or really doin anything but this helped tremendously. I’ve only used it for a day but so far so good! Haven’t tried it sleeping but really hope it helps with that too as it’s usually the most terrible time.”
