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.

Alleviates back pain
4 people found this helpful
A must-have for women with fibrocystic breast disease. I experienced terrible back pain before my period, which affected my daily life. After researching, I found a video where two female naturopathic doctors recommended this supplement. Trusting the quality of Thorne, I decided to purchase it despite its cost. I took one or two soft gels after a fatty meal, as vitamin E is fat-soluble, and it significantly alleviated my back pain. I recommend this for anyone suffering from similar issues.
