I have a lot of problems with my lower back (can I hear an AMEN?). I have had surgery and every year or two I get an ablation. But the docs couldn't correct everything with the surgery so I still have some pain to drag me down from my normal activity. Since I discovered Tommy's tinctures I can put a couple of drops under my tongue and in a few minutes I can get back to what I was doing. Nothing takes all the pain away, but Tommy's tinctures take enough of the edge away that I can still go about my life without having to plop in the old easy chair for a couple of hours. Also, I never get any fog or tiredness to slow me down. Clear head and full steam ahead, Captain!
