Comment:
I have been on this medicine for about 2 weeks, and have regained most of the use of my thumbs. I can now snap my fingers for the first time in 10 years, not as loud perhaps as I did 15 yrs. ago but certainly better! I get through most days without now having to take other pain relievers.

Comment:
I have knee and back problems. I was prescribed 20mg capsule once daily. I took one and it worked. The problem is I cannot sleep because I feel these little shock / itch points on my body at different intervals. I will never take this medication again.
