I have pure willow bark which I put in capsules.  And yes, it is very bitter.  I used it when I had severe allergies that prevented me from taking a regular aspirin tablet years back.  Did it help?  A little.

I actualy learnt about willow bark from reading fantasy novels.
Strange how one learns things.

Thank you for posting this, I enjoyed reading it.

I am about to switch to aspirin to try to get pain relief since other nsaids only make my inflammatory flare ups worse and tylenol doesn't seem work on me.

I don't know if by inflammation what type you have but I've been taking Boron for arthritic inflammation with amazing results.  But it will take about 3 months before you will see significant results.  It won't help with torn ligaments/cartilage but it will for the resultant arthritic inflammation.

I've gone from sharp stabbing pain in my shoulders to pain but now I can lift my arms at angles that were impossibly painful before.

Thanks for this, I will look into Boron. I have multiple inflammatory conditions (endocrine,  sinus, urinary and digestive). The excrutiating pain is from the inflammatory bowel disease so that is digestive but I'm on an anti-inflammatory diet (among other things I've been doing to put myself in remission) which is really helping. Usually I can stop the flare ups with those foods and the pain goes away, but I would like something for back up.

I am glad to hear you can lift your arms now, I know you have had multiple painful issues to deal with as well and I also saw your recent posts about being able to eat corn again as well as the post about the spine stimulator. I have improved a great deal and my goal is complete remission. Here's to us both finally feeling better. 

Thanks for this Ciona.  Only another chronic pain sufferer can understand.  I wish you well.  We take Mineralife Liquid Ionic Boron.  Do your own research and find if it's right for you.
