I have had three lumber back surgeries including a fusion of L4,L5, surgery on both shoulders. I also suffer from Thoracic radiculopathy. I was in constant intolerable pain,however since I started taking this medication I can actually do a few things instead of being in bed or a recliner. I take 40 mg three times daily.
