Back Pain
Question:Has there been any studies of the effect of fen-fen on chronic low-back pain? I took it to get 10lbs. off my stomach, and although it did not suppress my appetite, it did stop the pain.
Answer:An age old remedy for low back pain is to lose weight. This is because the weight in the front of your body puts added strain on ones lower back. I suspect that the weight loss improved your back-not the drug.
