For the past 15 years, I have struggled with hip pain due to osteoarthritis and tendinitis. I have tried massage, physical therapy, Vioxx, and was told by my doctor that hip replacement surgery was inevitable. I am 33 and the idea of needing new hips sometime before 40 seemed extreme. Several people had suggested acupuncture and Chinese herbs over the years and, while I have responded well to acupuncture for muscle pain, I was doubtful that it would work for my arthritis.
My experience with Ayla, however, has felt almost miraculous. The herbal formula that she designed and prescribed for me has made a huge difference in my pain level. I have taken up activities that I had to give up because of pain and I feel more vital in my day to day life. Since moving to CA I have continued with the herbal formula Ayla recommended and continue to enjoy an active lifestyle.
