Yikes...I took this for about 3 weeks for tennis elbow. Never did work. Resorted to cortizone shots...which worked for a bit till I re-aggravated it.

Nearly 100% now after several acupuncture sessions. So much for modern medicine

If my back problems surface again, even though the shots worked well for me, I think acupuncture will be my next course of action. Hopefully I won't have to find out though.
