Relief factor opinions

[Jessie]

I have a hip that's getting sore and accasionally the pain extends lower down the leg. It was no biggy months ago. A couple aspirins or ibuprofen made it go away. I may need a hip transplant in the future but it may be a form of sciatica also.
I thought I'd try this relief factor and see if it will help before I start thinking of going under the knife.
Has anyone used it for similar and your results?
Thanks

It's been formulated "just for you", as they say.

My wife chased hip pain for years, tried everything. Surgeon fixed it in a one hour surgery, pains gone. It would save you a lot of pain to s po end 30 minutes with an xray machine and a qualified surgeon.

As a totally qualified internet medical
expert who can diagnose just about
any ailment or pain, I'd advise TALK
TO A DOCTOR OR TWO DOCTORS!

And don't be too ready to "go under
the knife." Success and failure rates
are sure to vary GREATLY.

My hip pain was bursitis. Took this. Pain free for a year.

Forty some years ago, I had Sciatica to the point of being in dire pain and not able to walk. I got various friends to run me around to various medical places. Three back surgeons told me I'd never walk again if I didn't get (super expensive) back surgery RIGHT NOW. I don't like being carved up except as an absolute last resort.

Finally found a good chiropractor. He wouldn't do anything without good xrays to see what's what. Xrays came out and he says "I can probably help you." The first day he fixed the problem, but it went back out right away. Over time, and 20 visits later, I was back to normal with zero surgery. If your back is just out of line, and pinching a nerve, a good Chiro can help. If you have bad disks, degenerative disease, or injury, you will most likely need surgery. I'm still doing great after all these years with no surgery, and glad I didn't listen to the guys that were just chasing Porsche payments.

So, nobody has tried this it seems. I was hoping for a drug free attempt at something before the next step.

I used it and it helped my knee pain.
Thing is the $19.95 initial order turn into a recurring $80 refill.
I quit and have been issues again.
I am trying to lose weight, as I know it will help, but I like to eat.

Jessie, are you taking a statin? In May I developed some serious pain in my left thigh. It then spread into my left hip. Just for the heck of it, I stopped taking my statin (generic Crestor -- rosuvastatin) for a week, and the pain went away completely. I went back on the rosuvastatin after my week's "statin vacation", and the pain has not returned.

Did you have any issues getting it stopped?

I have read a lot of complaints about this and other products of several types that are marketed this way.

The most common complaint is that you give them your credit card info up from and they ship automatically at the "current rate". When you attempt to cancel, it is first of all a difficult process taking multiple calls, so that some will stop trying.

Then, you are told it is cancelled, but the shipements continue, and the prices go up.... back to the phone. Eventually I think most get it cancelled, but not until they have been put through a lot of hassle, a lot of time on the phone, and a few hundred dollars of product you did not want. Sure, it can be returned, but that an even bigger hassle that most do not attempt.

It has been going on for years.

I've represented a bunch of clients with these symptoms.

Many of these folks got chiropractic treatment. Pretty universally, they all loved their chiropractor, most got some relief that didn't last long. These folks often got sucked into chiropractic programs that involved multiple treatments each week for months, usually until the insurance ran out. Then many had no remaining coverage when they finally went to a surgeon.

I've also defended a bunch of claims for these sorts of injuries over the years. My favorites were those that involved chiropractic treatment.

In those cases, I wouldn't settle the case for more than trivial amounts because I know how much fun I have cross examining chiropractors: they are hopeless!

Chiropractor's diagnosis and treatment are easy to discredit: testimony from any old MD challenging the chiropractor's diagnosis or treatment will be accepted by the jury over the chiropractor's testimony. I know a number of chiropractors that won't testify in court because they know they'll get chewed up by real medical experts.

Chiropractor's medical training is trivial: half of chiropractic training is in marketing and business development. Chiropractor's degree programs are 4 years or less: basically bachelors degrees. This compares poorly to an MD who has the bachelor's degree, 4 years of medical school, a year of internship and 4 years residency. It isn't hard to persuade a jury that the chiropractor doesn't know what he's talking about.

Their X-rays are uniformly terrible: any MD Radiologist will quickly refute the chiropractor's interpretation of their X-rays, usually showing the jury how technically inadequate their X-rays are as well as demonstrating that the chiropractor's interpretation of the X-rays is fact free.

I spent several years hiking,snowshoeing,cycling along with some kayaking which really strengthened my core and provided a good deal of relief from sciatic pain. I haven't been able to do that for the last few years,but the pain is mostly gone. Chronic pain is a bear. A friend of mine ended his life a few years ago due to it. Get checked out thoroughly,it's possible physical therapy may fix it.

No, not on any scripts.

A lot of my favorite talk-radio-heads are not only endorsing the Relief Factor, but are using it. There's a common tag-line of, "..Over 70% of users continue to order more" {or thereabouts}. Well, I wonder if the 30% are just aghast at the increased cost of the product after finding out the trial offer works? I'm all about the reasoning behind it, and it would certainly be worth a try for $20. Even at the renewal rate, that beats getting surgery.....or a bad chiropractor. I am all about GOOD chiropractors, so I am not dissing the relief it/they can provide.

No problem at all. IIRC I called to cancel, they asked why, I told them the cost was more than I could afford at the time. EZ peazy.

I know less about medical things than I know about guns but here goes...

My knees get inflamed the more I walk. Aspirin helps but not for long. I had always heard that turmeric was good for you whether it was an additive in your food or taken as a supplement.

I saw something in the market and thought "What the heck!". It's made by a company called "Garden of Life" and named Mykind Organics Tumeric Inflammatory Response gummies. I figured it couldn't be any worse than what's hacked on TV and no commitment. And who doesn't like Gummies? After a 1 1/2 days I'm seeing a mild improvement. At least I'm not using the house furniture as a crutch to get around anymore.

This is by no means meant for those that have severe constant pain that should require professional help. It you only have occasional flareups from some strenuous activity this could help but don't ever solely rely on any advice given here.

I have been taking Relief Factor for several years, on auto ship. I am on blood thinners, so can't take the anti inflammatory drugs like aspirin or Advil. Using Tylenol and the Relief Factor helped me to mostly stop using Vicodin for Arthritis. Relief Factor is a mix of 4 anti inflammatory products, some of which I had been using before, like fish oil. I find the two packets a day to be convenient. You can get any of the components separately, like Tumeric and Resveratrol. Probably cheaper in bulk, but less convenient. Some make a tea out of black pepper and Turmeric.

There are pain specialists, but you have to be referred by a doctor. Which you apparently should see anyway to figure out what the issue may be. I got a referral after issues with a damaged nerve. Didn't take long at all for the problem to do away and stay that way-unless I do something unusually stupid.

 

[MRB1]

If it's advertised on TV, I won't buy it. That's what my doctor is for.
