Hi Canadiangal.. I would suggest you copy and paste this for the Chronic Pain Forum they will better be able to help you with your question and to give support.. This is the Substance Abuse Forum where we are trying to get off Meds prescribed and street drugs.. I do wish you well on your quest to find quality pain relief. I do know others have also added acupuncture swimming massage cardio and such for added benefit.. I wish you well. lesa
