"i have herniated discs. this drug helped tremendously, reducing my inflammation and therefore my pain as well, both when i was in severe trauma, and years later when i pull my back now and then. it increases mobility which is important, because then i can walk, cope in limited daily functions without being confined to bed, and i can instead help my muscles loosen and heal. i highly recommend this drug for herniated or bulging discs etc, etcsince it reduces i flammation, not just masks pain. the other meds i tried did almost nothing. also, i have not experienced any side effects now, or when i was taking it every 12 hrs for those many difficult months."
