Originally prescribed for when I tore some tendons, I've continued to use it on and off ( I have so much leftover). If I get really sore and have trouble sleeping this helps me out a lot. I usually pair it with robaxin for muscle pain. It's also fantastic for severe headaches.

Comment:
I had tremendous stomach pain worse than I experienced using Aspirin. The bleeding stomach was so painful that I couldn't feel any pain relief. Tylenol works best for me. Safe and comfortable as Tylenol it literally looses your blood vessels to make your blood easier to flow through your body. Avoid Aleve.
