Vitamin E shows promise for back pain
We investigated the potential of vitamin E, when combined with pentoxifylline, in treating symptomatic epidural fibrosis, a common cause of persistent back pain after surgery.

A case study involving a patient suffering from chronic leg and back pain showed remarkable improvement after three months of this combined treatment over a period of 3.5 years.

By April 2001, he experienced total symptom regression, although residual fibrosis remained. This finding suggests that vitamin E could offer hope for individuals struggling with similar conditions, but more studies are necessary to validate these results.

Vitamin E has been a lifesaver for my cycle irregularity and back pain. After suffering from endometriosis and severe monthly pain, my doctor recommended high doses of vitamin E. After a month and a half of taking it, my back pain subsided and eventually disappeared.

These tablets are small and easy to consume. Despite initial uncertainty about their effectiveness, I continued, and now, my back pain has completely disappeared. I believe lack of vitamin E caused my menstrual pain, and I will continue taking it.
