I can't say that the supplements were responsible for making me "better," but I'd like to think they contributed to me not getting any worse. I have numbness and tingling in my feet/ankles/shins, but I've not had much actual "pain." So sorry to hear that you have the pain that so many others experience. Have you had physical therapy? Have you seen a pain specialist? Have you tried any steroid injections? Have you heard of the spinal stimulator for pain? Things work differently for different people, so what works for me may not work for someone else. It's frustrating, I know. So much of this is trial and error. I wish you well!! Mike
