About Me
50 year old, single male. Never married, no children. Currently unemployed. have had nonstop back, neck and shoulder pain for the last 5 years. Have been ground into dust, both physically and emotionally. My pain is 95% in my mid and upper back. It's in the spine and muscle tissue. The areas of pain move around, so it's not always in the same place. I live alone and feel isolated. I think it will be good to talk to people who can relate to my problems.

I sure hope this works for you! My doctor originally prescribed it for me, but it wasn't a high enough dose..by accident I took more than prescribed and BINGO I hit the jackpot. FYI, he started me on 300mgs. but I needed more, so I take 600mgs..yes it does make me fat, but the tradeoff is way worth it!! Wendy

Did you ever have surgery? Although, they say that surgery is not a high success rate either. I wish you all the luck in the world!

Close Back Pain
Have had chronic back, neck and shoulder pain for the last 5 years. It has affected my life very negatively, complicating everything. I'm very worried as to how I'm going to be able to hold a job. Am currently unemployed and have been turned down for some jobs due to my condition.

- Sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. Take 800mg at a time.
