Comment:
Spinal Stenosis due to scar tissue from previous surgery at L5/S1. Worked better for my chronic pain at higher doses 200 to 300mg 2X/day.

Comment:
This is the WORSE PAIN MEDICINE I have ever taken. It did nothingfor my pain. It made me dizzy, nauseous, I couldn't breath. It made me sick. It was horrible & my son had the same reaction. I have chronic pain & thought it may just be reacting to the other meds I'm on so my son took one for his back pain& had the same symptoms as me. They were 50 mg tablets.
