Which sentence is correct? Which tense is better to use?

Question

How to say grammatically correct that I had a problem, but then it's gone when I tried a recommendation:

I had the same problem. Thanks, recommendation above helps me!

or

I had the same problem. Thanks, recommendation above helped me!

This has the correct meaning:

I had the same problem. Thanks, the recommendation above has helped me!

Because if you used helps me it would mean that the recommendation helps you periodically for some period of time.
