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 a 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."

"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 1 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."

"I'm 70 and have been using Excedrin Extra Strength my whole life off and on. I do not take any prescribed medications. I recently found out I had osteoarthritis in my hip and have been given options for different over-the-counter medications. You name it, and I tried it with little to no relief. I took 2 pills of Excedrin, and within 15 minutes, the pain disappeared with no side effects. I'm not at that point for a hip replacement, but as long as I get some relief from Excedrin, I'm good. I will contact my orthopedic surgeon for his opinion on this matter. Please contact your healthcare provider for long-term use of any medications you want to take."
