2-3 months is about how long it lasts for most, only gave me about 30-40 days of relief when I had one in my shoulder. Be careful with them as they can cause buildup in your joints if you get to many of them, and I wouldn't get the one with steroids in it either. Fo me I just had to learn to deal with it after my stomach got ate up from pain pills.

Ok not sure what one he gave me but feeling alot more flexible today---with the pain meds im taking 3 x panidine forte ans 1 20mg oxycontin been on panadine forte for 20 years i get 120 pills with 3 repeats i really want to break away from the pills---As for my stomach anti flams use to give me bad heart burn and alot of foods as well--it ended up being a infection in my stomach that only can be checked by a camera down your throat or a breath test ending up having 3 types of anti biotics for 3 weeks now i can eat any thing again---with the steroids i had too much in my body when i was 30 that why i have so many health issues now
hey spares im still waiting for MJ to put a section for human heath but untill then im using repairs

I had the scope done of both ends when I was 25, and I had the stomach infection. Treated it and I was good for about 5 years, but now it's slowly coming back. It's to the point now I can't drink sweet tea which was one of my favorite drinks(it's a southern USA thing to drink sweet tea, it's like our crack. and it SUCKS to not be able to drink it nymore), and if something has any kind of spice to it forget about it.
