I also suffer spinal pain and use Aloe Vera in drink form ,since that has a natural pain killer but in the formula Forever Freedom by F.L.P.which contains Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin. it dropped my pain in my spine and knees in 3 days. I normally had pain driving the 700 kms. to my wife's parents. I would have to stop every 2 hours and limp to the rest station take another strong pain killer, then drive on. 2 years ago I first tried this for the Christmas drive, a week before and had no pain driving and great mobility and sleep. I have now Aloe Heat lotion as well. for massage. another tip stop drinking black tea I found that caused my arthritis's to increase, I just have tea on a Sat morning. and don't drink Coke, that is a major contributor to Spondilothis since it damages the calcium in the body, so also do most fizzy drinks, but Coke is number1. I am now trying Black Caraway for pain, I am awaiting a knee replacement. I dropped the Aloe in the summer. feeling so good. and got caught up on the high mountains in part of Austria, where I look after a forest for friends. A thunder Storm hit the mountain, and my self and their dog, nearly were hit by lighting bolts hitting the mountain, so I came down the steep side to fast. Now I damaged a damaged Knee. I cannot walk far in real pain, which of course sets of my spine, which I had surgery 1985 for a broken spine, No pain killer are Strong enough for a good nights sleep, since the body soon get used to them, even marijuana, which is a good pain killer. I was on strong based Opium pain killers, which are banned here in Austria, but freely available on prescription U.K. and U.S. but the side effects caused so much headaches and brain problems with memory and temper outbursts. I was in hospital thinking I had brain damage from an accident, when they found out it was these painkillers. so be careful what you take long term. also most painkiller cause bowel problems, I had 30Cm's taken off the colon because of them and nearly died last year, of the build up of many years of pain killers. So try Aloe, I f you need any more details contact my e-mail. I live a normal life except this knee at the moment, which will be operated in Dec. in Vienna in the best hospital in Europe for knee surgery. But pain relief is a major now for me, but natural, some is effective and not everything works for all, IE men and women react different as well
