Topical gel helped me with chronic spine pain
I have croinc pain in my spine since 2006 with three fusion and many injection where I haven't had a good night sleep in last 3 years. I recently try a gel called Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel 1%. is mainly used four hands knees and feet joints, but I tried it on my spine and hip where I have pain levels as high as six and walk with a limp. After two days of using this gel I am now can walk a mile without limping and sleep a full night without severe pain to wake me up every 2 hours. I wanted to share this with all of you because your spine is full of joints as well as your hip and this might be something you should look into as I am extremely excited and now I can sleep 7 hours to get a full night's sleep. Is mainly used for arthritis and osteoarthritis and it works.

thank you. I have tried that with no results
@schony1087 You said since your surgery you,ve had this burning pain . Sounds like me with my burning pain and Dr. told me my nerves where pinched so I use a Topricin cream its for neuropathy . Have you gone back to your Dr and told him about your pain . I understand the tears and I have been there also . The Dr. can help you with this so this is what I would do .
Hi donfeld from Georgia from Australia. Thanks for the info. on Gels and patches for pain. I am wondering why my "Pain Specialist" only recommended that I take Tramadol 50 and Panamax Codeine 500 in large quantities. ? I would rather try your suggestions. My pain was 10/10 (stopped you in your tracks) for Sacroiliac joint degeneration. Most post people who write don't use specific medical terms. Using the words, "my hip" is too general. Thank you.
