                        I have pain similar to yours, mine is   caused by herniated discs from   degenerative disk disease, pinching the   nerves as they leave the spinal collumn   The only thing I have found to give me   less pain is products containing gelatin.   Knox gelatin is the best, a teaspoon in a   glass of juice twice a day,(drink fast),  will help replenish the synovial fluid  between the intervertebral spaces.  Good Luck Thomas:-)
