I am beginning my third week and so far nothing seems to be really happening as far as less pain and stiffness, have others found it takes longer?

I've been told that you should give it 3 months to see a change. If you don't see any change by then quit taking it. It isn't going to help you.

yes, it takes time to build up in your body. im not sure how long, it never reallly worked for me. i would give it several months.

I felt relief in about 7-10 days. And I haven't stopped taking it. Seems to be working for me . . . bgs.

I would give it at least 3 months. The relief is subtle, not like taking a pain pill. But I've been on it for many years, and if I ever run out, after about a month I'm wondering why I'm hurting--all joints but mainly back. So then I get back on it, and gradually it feels better again. At 67, I don't need any other daily medication for joint pain.

I wear for a while in the evenings. I max out at about an hour, start to get cramping. Tried wearing to bed, but it comes off. Do feel like it might be having a slight impact on my hammer toe.

In my own personal experience, if I ran out and was not able to re-order right away, I noticed it "creeping" back up after several weeks. Thankfully, it definitely didn't jump up drastically "overnight". I suppose it depends on each person and how sensitive their body is or severe their condition is.

It usually would take 24 hours for me personally, but then again that could have been mind over matter (placebo effect). I've read other posts where it has taken others a few days. Everyone's body is different, so what worked for me will be different for someone else.

I'm up to about 15 minutes but it takes a little time to work up to it. I do it about 170 degrees with no negative effects. I always feel relaxed when I am done and my lower back issues have almost completely disappeared.

OK, for me I had from waist down back pain, stiffness and terrible aching. My very lower spine felt as if it was fused. I started off abt waistline, then kept moving it down after the 20 mins.. Then I moved over my back pelvic bone (injuries from car accident) and worked that area. I kept this up for several hours. The areas I worked on after the 20 mins were pretty much pain free afterwards for a day or two. But I worked it hard to catch my nerve pathway, Google for illustration. In a month I have only had a couple of episodes of real step stopping pain. My lower back is now loose again and I have much more flexibility. It depends on your source of pain so you will have to judge that for yourself. I use this every day, especially after doing physical work. I no longer am kept awake from discomfort/pain. So for me it really stops the pain for days as long as I keep at it. I have a friend who has a different unit which has 4 pads and she runs her just about all the time. She is so happy to no longer to be on narcotics. She has super severe nerve damage from an illness. I just wish I had known about this unit years ago...would have had a better quality of life. I plan on buying another unit in the future with more pads. This Homedic unit is amazing and convenient device with no battery pack to carry around. Hope this helps.

We noticed a difference in joint pain the first week, I noticed better sleeping after 1 and half weeks. We drink an 8 ounce glass per day, sometimes more. Cheaper than perscription anti-inflamatory drugs.

Oh my - two weeks is not enough time. My RA doctor years back told me to start taking Gloucousamin/Chondroiton (sp?) and I found that out of all the products containing these ingredients I found Osteo Biflex the absolute best on the market to actually do what they say. My RA doctor told me I would notice a difference in 3 months. You have to give the product time to work and you have to be religious in taking the exact amounts and every singe day. Good luck.

Thank You for taking your time to comment to my question. Hope the DMSO will continue to improve the pain problem for you.I find it helps me alot but can't use it every single day as it does burn the skin.

I definitely have noticed some firming up. It is not going to work miracles, but for me, any improvement was welcome. I just wish I had this in my 30's. I think it would have made a lot of difference in the sagginess now. Hope this helps.

I felt the same at first. I find that the resistance becomes less of a burden as you get into the 15th or so repetition. I now even set it at a notch above minimal; it is a tough pull at first. I usually do a half hour. I am no Chas. Atlas by the way. It is a great workout. good luck

The answer, of course, varies amongst users. It depended at what point is the discomfort (pain) level reduced enough that movements can be undertaken. None of these remedies cures or reverses the deterioration processes, but can slow down or delay the rates, as long as the products are taken. Attention has to be paid as to when the regular dosages begin to lose their relief effects, or when have the deterioration processes overwhelmed the beneficial effects? A good exercise regimen helps the relief effects, for sure.

Hi Lynne, Honestly...it can be at times. Since your doing the same workout everyday, your knees do feel a little raw after the first week and towards the end of the program. I recently stated Power 90 and found that to be a lot better on my knees. Hope this helps.

I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now. I have fibromyalgia and the tea seems to lessen my pain. It was gradual but I noticed the difference in a short amount of time. Also, befor taking the tea I had blood work done and my blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar and everything was so out of whack! After 3 months of taking this tea, I had to have more blood work done and all of my blood work came back perfect! My doctor asked me what I was doing and I told her that I was just drinking my essiac tea. So...in answer to your question, don't know if it is the from canada but it works for me. I just ordered another bulk bag. I wish I could be of more help. I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now.

For me....a little more exertion than norm, but that's because I have arthritic fingers ! I think it would be easier for anyone else as it still doesn't take much effort for even me !!

My knees do start to feel uncomfortable after three or four hours, but if I take brief breaks I can sit in it all day. It's much better than the constant lower back pain I used to feel from sitting in a regular chair. I have not had a problem with my legs or feet going to sleep.
