To get to this point it was around two weeks before I started, I was thinking of setting my alarm for the evening, but thought it just will not work.
Anyway, as of to date I am just into my third week (morning), and I can claim it has had some benefit already which is amazing for me.
On some days the pain has reduced significantly, say a 3 on the scale and other days maybe a 5. If it gets better than this then great, but if not I will stay on them anyway because they have made a difference.
Also, I am thinking If it can help to reduce and stabilise the joint pain in my toe, I will be so relieved, I can cope with a sub 5 pain. But when it was around the higher levels it was so frustrating, I really do not want this ailment to affect my love for golf which is also a great way for me to get physical exercise.
