"Tried Doan's Pills because Tylenol and Aleve just didn’t help my sacroiliac pain. The pain has been mild and ongoing for a year since a fall last January and has been manageable with ice and heat packs. But I am on my feet more through the day now since switching jobs, and the pain had become unbearable... took two Doan’s, and the pain was gone. I literally almost cried, thought I would need to have injections to get rid of the pain. This is definitely my new go-to pain medication."

"I have lower back pain to the point that I'm in a lot of pain after walking only 20 minutes or so. I was getting very discouraged. One morning, my partner gave me some Doan's Pills, and my back pain disappeared. I was amazed, and we started going to stores to try to find it. Not as easy as we thought. Finally, we found some, and I hope it continues to help me as much as it has the first day. Keep your fingers crossed."

"Right side of back from waist area so painful can't hardly move. Had high hopes, since Doan's Extra Strength was a different ingredient from Tylenol or Advil. It didn't even begin to touch the pain. In fact, it got worse. Had to take 1300 mg of Tylenol 2 hours later just to function. I'm so sorry, Doan's."

"My husband really likes Doans Extra Strength Pills, but lately he gets coupons that are out of date (12/31/21). Why are they still putting outdated coupons in the boxes? For the last few months, the coupons were good. We're on fixed incomes and love $1.00 coupons. We have 4 outdated coupons. My husband buys 4 or 5 boxes at one time. We both have really bad back problems and take Doans to help with the pain."

"I had months of back and leg pain. I went to physical therapy for weeks, it didn't help much. Finally, I tried Doans Pills, and they helped a lot! At least for the first few days..."

"Suffered a small fractured upper back in April by running my vacuum. It has now healed, but I still have occasional back pain. Tried many over-the-counter meds with no help. Searched out Doans. Took my first 2 Saturday at 1 p.m., pain gone by 7 p.m. Took 2 more. Woke up today, no pain. Took 2 more at 9 a.m., so far no pain. I think I found the answer to the pain problem."
