This panadiene med stuff is crap. Barely touches the pain, lasts only an hour or so and gives me a headache. There is also habituation, which is always a worry.

in the bin it goes and I'm back on aspirin and aggressive exercises

Diclofenac

Thanks, I'll talk to a doctor about it

What type of pain is it? Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory, you can get it over the counter, the stronger version you just have to ask the pharmacist for, just ask for Voltaren Rapid 25. Its the only thing that helps with my stiff/sore back. Just make sure to take it with food :)

Sciatic piriform and L4 leg nerve compression.

Another vote for Voltaren 25s. They're magic.

I find the generic works better than Voltaren for me. That and silly amounts of walking. I’ve 2 bung lower discs and a neck that’s the wrong shape. As always YMMV
