It worked well for me.. 6 months and no pain.. problem was I was also on lyrica and both of them combined caused some serious effects I couldn't handle. so I was taken off it.. it's different for every person. Also give it a good 2-3 weeks before it's fully beneficial when I first started out I thought it didn't work about 2 1/2 weeks later I woke up with no nerve pain..
