Comment:
This medication is amazing for my menstrual cramps. I cannot take anything related to painkillers as they make me ill but Sprix as it is a strong analgesic fits the bill.

I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the spray burning so much. Maybe they're not doing it right?

I have severE lower back pain, so my dr prescribed Sprix and it actually was mailed to me at no charge. While taking this medication, it helped, somewhat, but you have to pay attention to your body as NSAIDS is a leading cause of other medical conditions.

Comment:
My nose burned like crazy but only for a short time. The pain relief was almost magical. I save it for days when I'm working in the garden. I'm normally crippled afterward from my RA and the severe joint damage that it did. I can put up with the nasal pain. It is easier if I point it toward the medial side of the nostrils. I have to be careful not to snuff it up my nose. I vomited w
