Can Devil S Claw Be Taken For Severe Lower Back And Hip Pain?

I do not want to be on pharmaceutical drugs. I was in a car accident about 3 years ago. I saw a chiropractor and had an MRI and they say I have no apparent injury that requires surgery or anything. I have low back and hip pain (in both) along my sciatica. I am considering trying devils claw. I don t take prescription meds, and have no life threatening ailments that I am aware of. Any input?

Hi,

Devils claw is not an effective analgesic. You can consult a physician and opt for analgesics like Oxycodone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
