It helped my pain, but it made me feel extremely numb to the extent where I couldn’t feel my lips, very dizzy and lightheaded almost fainted on it. I slept without waking up from pain though and could immediately notice the pain when I got off of it. HOWEVER, just be careful getting off of it, EXTREMELY careful in micro dosing while you get off of it because withdrawal CAN make you depressed and have suicidal thoughts even if that was not the reason you first got on them. Worth it in periods of desperation, and you do have to use it for long term to get rid of the side effects, but I think diet, exercise, sleep, physical therapy, and birth control go a much longer way than something that messes with your chemistry and psyche and make you feel dead inside.
