Neurontin helps, nerve pain, artheritis, DDD
This has worked for me for five years,especially sciatic nerve pain, osteoarthritis, and degenerit disc disease. Black Kotash works for after menopose just for the benefits of the herb stands alone. Why take Remificin, which I tried, when you can go for the source? Hope this helps.
