Comment:
I did not take it daily only when I had stress related spasms in my neck. It worked quite well until I developed a sensitivity to it and it began causing swelling of my hands, itching, swelling of my throat and tongue. Very frightening.

Taken to relieve spasms related to disk problems. Spasms have decreased, but the pain along the spine was only marginally reduced. Oh... And I now have a hemorrhoid the size of a peach pit. Some muscles are meant to be tight...

Comment:
I am 80 years old and I did some digging though probably shouldn't. Had terrible back pain and spasms. Been taking this 3 times a day for 2 days and am no better. Aleve worked better. Will finish off the pills but I am not impressed.
