My name is Ramón, I am 74 years old (December 2017) and I live in Lérida. I have been a farmer all my life, and I am currently retired. Throughout my life I have enjoyed good health, but a couple of years ago I began to suffer from two herniated discs at different points in my back, one at the base of my neck that caused pain towards my arm and made my daily activities difficult, and another in the lumbar area that radiated towards my right leg with sciatica, also causing painful cramps.

I was having pain in my knee, especially when I bent down, the pain was severe. I went to the doctor and he ordered an X-ray. He told me that the pinch in my arm was caused by osteoarthritis of the spine. As for the sciatic pain, I don't know why he didn't do any tests. He didn't do any tests for my knee either, but he told me that it was almost certainly osteoarthritis and that there was no cure for it.

He prescribed me painkillers and anti-inflammatories, which I didn't take. I decided to put myself in the hands of a person who practices apitherapy in Lérida to treat me with bee stings. Out of fear and caution, I first began to treat the cervical pinch even though he told me that both pinches could be treated at the same time. After the first session I felt that the pain and inflammation were getting worse, something that he had told me could happen. I was about to not have the second session, but he convinced me.

After this session I began to feel some relief and, after the third session, the pain and limitation caused by the cervical pinch almost completely disappeared.

Afterwards, now confident, I treated my sciatica and knee with bee stings and in this case, from the first session I began to notice the improvement. In just a few sessions, the pain and limitation almost completely disappeared.
