I still have pain in my glut from a pinch sciatica nerve surgery. Has anyone used this product for something similar?

My husband used this after diagnosed with severe herniated disk and 7 needle injection surgical procedures. He still puts it on every morning and says it kicks in just when he needs it.

You have a pain in you "GLUT"? Is it on the left side of your "GLUT" or the right side of your "GLUT"? You need to contact Dr. Spellcheck and see if he can "hep" you! You do know this stuff is suppose to be for arthritis pain, right genius? Kind a doubt it!

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.

There is no information on the bottle or have I read anywhere about this brand being stabilized. I have severe nerve pain and I have diabetes 2. I tested it by comparing and not taking it. Nerve pain was worse, and blood sugar went up. While on it, 2 tabs 3 times daily, nerve damage is not as bad and blood sugar stays lower. Since it does not say it anywhere being stabilized I would write the company. So I would say "No". No record of it found to be stabilized. Thanks for asking, now I will be doing some more research on why stabilization is more important than not. I will write the company and ask. However, because the price is low, that also sends to me a red flag that it is not stabilized. Good luck. Please note if you find a brand that is stabilized and at a lower price. Thanks in advance.

I bought it for my husband who has diabetic neuropathy and his feet tingle and hurt at night. He used it a lot in the beginning but it really didn't help that much. The thing that's helped him the most is Magnilife Diabetic Nerve Cream. Good luck!

I am not familiar with this condition. So I googled it. It is only my opinion that I think it would help. I purchased this system for my plantar fasciitis which is heel pain. I found that following the protocol was extremely helpful. I was told to learn to live with my condition, get special shoes or opt for surgery. That was not an option for me. Diligence is required and getting past the initial pain is key. It was a "hurts so good" because I got tremendous relief. I no longer have plantar fasciitis. I don't know if this answer has been a help to you but I believe it is definitely worth the effort. Occasionally I still use my walkers when my feet are tired.

I didn't use this for sciatica. I have neuropathy and found Nerve Support by Wellness to work much better. I guess it all depends on the individual.

I am suffering from severe sciatica and most times find it very painful to bend or stoop. I love my Grip and Grab for picking up al those socks and other items I routinely drop in my day. It can pick up even tiny items.

I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well. Boy am I sorry. I did not feel a mere "stinging SOME on the skin". I felt intense BURNING for hours. And my fingers are still all crinkly & 1/2 numb from the DMSO. My feet also are crinkly & weird. I will be sure to dilute next time... or put less on.. rub less... or SOME thing... but won't do THAT again. ;-)I recommend G. Tate's suggestion to use sparingly... ;-) -Sounds like full strength can be do-able, but go lightly on it... it just takes a little. It's easy to over do it, and then you get weird, burning hot, crinkly skin otherwise, for awhile, so take it easy! :-) I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well.

I had a ruptured disc, L4-L5. Surgery removed about 75% of it, it was hyper-extended. Weight loss and exercise pretty well took care of the post surgery ache but every now and it does start again. I tried the IcyHot not really expecting it to work but have been surprised to find that it does. I probably only need it about twice a month but it does help when stretching doesn't.

Its supposedly for nerve repair, didnt help me though. They said money back but not so much.

Has not helped me so far.. I have several back related pains that have not gotten better with this product. It was a long shot, but I prefer natural products if possible rather than the strong meds that I have tried with little success. I have used about 1/2 the product and will use the remainder and hope for the best.

It is a process. i have had sciatica pain for already 26 years. This product restores your nerves and sort of neutralizes the agitated central nerve. I can notice the process. Slow but noticable.

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.

My pain is in the back and hip joints. I have had some in the knees and used it there. It went away for me. I have been using the unit since December 4 2014. In the past 5 days I can now go to bed and go to sleep after a year of waiting for the burning paining to cease and relax sometimes for an hour. I can only say that it has worked for me. Living with pain is wearing on the nerves. I would recommend to try it. I had someone tell me they had used the light on her horses for injury for 15 years and knew it worked for them.

I have never used it for back pain; I put a few drops(2-4) in a foot bath, and soak my feet in warm water, while it vibrates. All the answers I have read sound good to me; In massaging it into your skin, a couple of drops in an oil, I prefer almond oil, myself, but I'm sure any other solution could be good as well. As one has suggested, trial and error is the only way one can tell if it fits one's specific need.
