I was being treated for sciatica due to a herniated disk and had severe pain down my left buttocks and back of upper leg. This medication coupled with Ibuprofen 600 knocked the pain out so well, I was able to walk and stand normally. No other pain medication was as effective as this!

Threw out my back - BAD - right before Christmas. I was almost immobilized. Doctor prescribed me a pretty heavy round of Prednisone and it was like a miracle. Saved me from being on pain meds and I ended up taking two rounds and I was done. No serious side effects. I wish that I had these sitting around all the time for emergencies.
