I've yet to notice any side effects. I do think it has lessened the pain some.

<r>Wow! Howdy neighbor! I live in Manassas, Va and am going through the same thing as your wife. I too was suffering from a URI, woke up one night with an incredible pain in my neck (thought I'd slipped another disc) and within 3 days no use of my right arm.

He will be talking to my ortho and calling me later today he said. He m...

I've seen my Ortho, who had me get an MRI thinking I had once again blown a disc in my neck as I have already had fusion between c-5 and c-6. Not another disc, so he starts discussing BP as a possibility, and tomorrow I go to the neuro...
