I had to use this when I'd goteten two injections in my si joints in lower back end of June 2008 to end of July 2008.All I wanted to do was sleep alot & lie in bed..What a trip! It made my bowels stop and dr had to give me something to ease that up.The injections caused me to have unrelenting left knee pain,so much so that I couldn't sleep and cryed before mt pain dr tryed to undo the harm my Rheumatologist did when giving me the shots.
