I have chronic pain from various issues like arthritis (both hand and shoulders) and disc issues in my lower back. When the pain gets too intense to ignore in my thumbs I use the stick and within a few minutes, the pain goes away. It also works well on the pain in my right shoulder. The pain in my right shoulder is reduced and the stiffness and lack of mobility are mitigated as well. If you are looking for an alternative to pain meds and anti-inflammatory (Ibuprofen) then you should give the stick a try!
