I use this to relieve the pain because my rotated pelvis causes my back to hurt. It's quick to relieve the pain and get me back to normal within a few minutes. The only thing it has done is make me slightly drowsy at times.

Thank God I had prednisone at home, which I took 15 minutes after the Benadryl didn't work. That finally worked, and took about 5 hours to get back to relatively normal. The last thing to remain was
