Other Answers:
Yes my daughter does. However, since she started on Devils Claw a few months ago her overall symptoms have improved.
Devil's claw ( Harpagophytum procumbens ) originates from the Kalahari and Savannah desert regions of South and Southeast Africa. In these parts of the world, Devil's claw has historically been used to treat a wide range of conditions including fever, malaria and indigestion. The medicinal ingredient of the Devil's claw plant is extracted from the dried out roots.

Currently, the major uses of Devil's claw are as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for joint diseases, back pain and headache. There is currently widespread use of standardized Devil's claw for mild joint pain in Europe.

Potential side effects include gastrointestinal upset, low blood pressure, or abnormal heart rhythms (increased heart rate or increased heart squeezing effects).

Traditionally, it has been recommended to avoid using devil's claw in patients with stomach ulcers, or in people using blood thinners (anticoagulants such as warfarin/Coumadin®).
