"I have severe lumbar spine problems including arthritis, even worse stenosis, degenerative disk disease, and a few more-not surgically curable in my case. I find taking l or 2 AAC pills often with a hot water bottle if I'm at home, is remarkably effective. It helps less but still noticeably when I am outside, standing and walking, which is far far the most painful. No side effects; very beneficial."

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I find that Excedrin does not do a great job for treating my osteoarthritis pain. It does a fantastic job with headaches, so I use it for headaches primarily."

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Excedrin is the ONLY pill I have found that can take away the osteoarthritis pain in my lower back (doc says its lower back is disintegrating at my age 79. Also takes away aches and pains from muscles since I am heavy gardener. It has been the ONLY way I can stop headaches, and nearly all aches and pains. So grateful that it is on the market. It has saved me from a painful life."
