Reviews for Ibuprofen to treat Back Pain
Advil (ibuprofen): "Awful, to say the least. Don't even consider this if you have anything more than a headache, and even that won't be tolerable after taking a few of these."

Advil (ibuprofen): "This works very well for me, and needless to say is readily available. The trick is knowing when to take one or when to take two."

"Relieves pain faster but not quite like a narcotic...safer! 8.5 to a 9 out of 10 for 800mgs does the job!!"
