I am an herbalist and with my clients who have any kind of joint pain, I use 6 yucca, 3 B6 and 6 B complex a day for a week, then lower it by 1 each week until you are maintaining for a month with 2 yucca, 1 B6 and 2 B complex a day until you no longer have pain. My Dad avoided carpal tunnel surgery with this formula from me and only takes it as he feels the pain start up again. This is all nerve inflammation related from overuse and B's are to help the health of the nerves. I told it to the owner of my LQS and she recommends it to everyone.
