"I'm on week 2 of an L5 S1 disc re-herniation that first occurred 2.5 years ago. I'd lost 18% of my body weight, primarily in muscle mass because I opted to stay still as possible; the bedrest caused my muscle atrophy. Since that lowered my weight, it was less weight for my spine to support, and that was the major reason I healed then. Now I know this time around that walking, stretching, and other kinds of flexion are the way for me. No matter how incapacitating it feels, easy does it with light walking and household chores (no weights or wild exercise), taking frequent breaks to stretch out the piriformis while lying on my back. I can't take aspirin or ibuprofen, so I tried white willow bark even though I was nervous about its similarly derived ingredients; I stopped it after 2 days (not an adequate amount of time, but I'm desperate for pain relief). However, the devil's claw I purchased and have been using for a week and a half, 3 x day, 512 mg has been monumentally helpful. I'm hopeful."
"I started taking the recommended dosage of Devil's Claw on a Saturday for my back pain, and by Thursday, I had blood in my urine. It did help the back pain within 8 hours. I stopped taking it, and 3 days later, the bloody urine stopped. I don't see many sites that claim this is a side effect, but some do. It is very scary to see blood in your urine. Your mind thinks cancer immediately."
