I've been on 5 mg Prednizone every other day for years. I have spinal stenosis as well. I had a back operation a little over a year ago. After the operation, I was desparate to get off the opioids. I tried Advil. I didn't exceed the daily dose but I took it for a week straight (or more). It sent my blood pressure sky high and I and the doctors thought I was having a heart attack.

Somehow or other I came up on an add on the internet for Heat and Sooth. I tried it. I gradually stopped using it. Then about two weeks ago, I was in constant pain and Tylenol Extra Strength really didn't do anything during the day. I would have a short snooze after dinner. I would wake up pain free and I could work on the computer until midnight or later. The same thing the next day.

I wondered if the Heal and Sooth actually worked so I've gone back on it. I woke up in the middle of last night and realized I was pain feel--and I am still pain free today so far.

I will keep you posted to see if my "snake oil" really works. I have a bottle and a half left over. By the time I finish those, I should have some idea if the Heal and Sooth really works.

One of the reasons I quit using it was because I seemed to be spending more money of health enhancers (Dr. Gundry's MCT, etc.) and an arm's length of vitamins along with the Heal and Sooth.
