I have constant arthritis pain but keep active and stretching. When I take 3 tablets (600 mg) at night I sleep better at night and awaken with less stiffness.

Dear Dr. Levy, Nice work on pain med concepts - I agree both theoretically and from 25 years of experience. Moving forward into narcotic usage - after years of interrogating even my most ardent chronic pain patients - none of them benefits from more than 8 Percocet per day, no matter what they ask for. They all feel that Methadone is more effective and less toxic to the liver, but there's no immediacy to the experience. (Most practitioners know all this ...) so thanks for the articles Frank

Nice article. very informative. I was also looking for some natural pain relievers which would be safer than ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Anyone has idea about this?
