How were you using it? I’m a retired nurse and I found most layman do not use this particular product correctly. It should be applied 4x day paying attention to the amount you are applying to your finger due to chance of overdose of NSAID’s. I’ve go OA of both hips and spine and this does a wonderful job of keeping my inflammatory pain down. I don’t use it on my spine. It take Turmeric 2400mg 3x day as an anti-inflammatory.
