I have never tried it in any form BUT would give the gummies a try if presented the opportunity.Around here getting pain meds is not an easy task if done legally.I actually know an elderly person that was randomly urine tested when attending an appointment with their pain specialist and was dropped as a patient BECAUSE the test was negative.So apparently if you don't use what was prescribed because you didn't feel that you needed them even for a little while you get "fired" so to speak.Now when their pain is really flaring suffering is their only way to ease it.In my opinion the medical field is a total sham and really don't care about pain control for honest people.
