Has anyone tried Mag Phos for pain and spasms .I have given up with GP and addictive pain killers.I looked into this as an alternative ,and I am surprised at how I am feeling now.Its early days but I the spasms are certainly not as painful.I didt realise how important tissue salts are to our body.I did all the I B S stuff before being told it was bulging dics,and nothing can be done ,other than I learn to live with the pain ,and go to anger management ,yes that is what I was told.Anyhow give it a try ,what have you got to lose ,it could help you too .Read up on Mag Phos or tissue salts in general.

I have been taking magnesium for chronic bad pain in my legs and I seem to be noticing an improvement! Of course this came from me and not from entirely unhelpful doctors. Good luck feeling better.

Hi I have been taking them for 4 days and the change is remarkable,I did a full days work today ,first time in months.I feel good I woke up anxuous that there would be a set back ,I couldnt bare that ,but no everything is still great .The first 2 days I did what it said on label take them every 30 mins till pain goes ,I will say when I took them I had an incredible rush of pain in my normal pain area ,this subsided very quickly ,and this happened 3 more times .Today I have taken 4 ,my last one just now (this is what they reccomend as a daily maintenance dose ,and I will continue this way.On the site it did say they will only work if your pain is relieved with heat ,eg hot pack or bath ,and this is me exactly .

I have had no problems with diarhea at all,and the amount I took first 2 days I think would have affected me by now.

I know we will try anything to get some pain relief ,it is so dabilitating .For me the speedy result is outstanding.By the way now im taking just 4 a day I didnt get the rush of pain like the first 2 days,today has been so SMOOTH and comfortable,I know its early days ,and I will be devastated if I have a set back,but the change in my days so quickly,makes me think my body was having spasms because these minerals were missing in my diet .Why didnt my G P think outside the box,Im guessing as ususal they dont have the time or understanding of what pain is doing to us .Good luck,I hope you get the result I have. I got mine Holland & Barret ,Schuessler Tissue Salts Mag Phos 8. Feel free to contactme anytime.
