For Back Pain "I have a lower back problem that flares up when aggravated by exercise about every 9 months. It causes sciatica-related pain and can be incapacitating and makes it especially hard to sit for long periods while using my computer. Aleve, Tylenol, and Advil have not been particularly effective. Yesterday, I tried Backaid Max and found noticeable relief for the first time in three days. I woke up this morning wondering how it works so well and found this message board on Google. It seems that the diuretic has a unique effect, at least in my case."

For Back Pain "First time using this product... I was in so much pain I couldn't bend down to get it off of the bottom shelf... within 20 min I felt like a new man. Only reason I give it a 9 out of 10 is because it was on the bottom shelf..."

For Back Pain "I had been suffering from sciatica pain for 2 weeks. Nothing seemed to help. I could hardly walk, and the spasms were horrible. I couldn’t even lay down in bed to sleep. I found Backaid at my local Walmart and thought, for the price, why not try it? After about twenty minutes, my pain and spasms were gone. I highly recommend this product!"

For Back Pain "I have tried a variety of medications (which I hate taking meds), along with alternating heating pad and an ice pack. Nothing seems to ease the pressure and constant sharp, burning, and spasms in my lower back into my buttocks (sciatica)... until I've tried these aspirin-free Backaid Max tabs. These have helped me within 20 or so minutes of taking them. It's hard to shower, use the restroom, walk, lay down, sit, etc... it just hurt to move. This is the perfect OTC med I would recommend... without these, I wouldn't be able to stretch or get any therapy done. The cost is affordable and well worth it."

For Back Pain "OMG. This medicine is like a miracle pill for me. I have a bulging disc in my lower back, which causes sciatica pain down my leg into my foot. I am a bowler and work in retail, and this medicine really and truly works."

For Back Pain "I go through overall body pain due to lupus and fibromyalgia, and my lower back pain is the pits, even though I take prescription pain relievers. I've mentioned to my doctor about changing them, feeling that I'm just used to them, and therefore they don't help the way they did before. So now, I have taken it upon myself to try this OTC product and was amazed and delighted as to how well it took care of my back pain, including my hips. It took at least 20-30 minutes to take effect, and now I take it faithfully (for the time being). I very much recommend it to anyone who suffers with back pain, you won't be disappointed, plus it's so affordable."

For Back Pain "I’ve been experiencing some bad sciatica pain for about two months. It was so bad that I could hardly walk or sleep because of the lower back pain. Then sitting on the toilet became painful. I had no idea what was going on, so I went to the doctor, and they gave me a muscle relaxer, which did nothing. One day I was in the store just looking at medicines, and I saw this one and decided to give it a try. I took it the same day and noticed that it gave me some relief."

For Back Pain "My back muscles get really tight and painful every 3 days or so. I take this, and within 20 mins, I am not hurting at all. I cannot tell why, because it is an NSAID coupled with a diuretic, but somehow it works. Crazy. I love it anyways."

For Back Pain "I made a job change and my sciatic started to flare up. Not having medical insurance and taking ibuprofen like crazy made for a long and painful day. When I came across Backaid Max, it saved my pain. I live and breathe pain-free due to this over-the-counter medicine. I will follow up with my doctor once my insurance kicks in next month. So grateful for this great pain reliever."

For Back Pain "I found this while looking for acetaminophen to add to my prescription pain relief and a comparable price, so I gave it a try. The sciatica that was keeping me awake at night was virtually gone within 30 minutes. It's a pain reliever that I would recommend to anyone with low back/sciatic pain. I don't know why it works better than acetaminophen alone, but it's well worth the price!"

For Back Pain "Today was the first initial day starting the medication. I was diagnosed with sciatica in 2017 and had a flare-up in February 2019! It was the most excruciating pain EVER! After a couple of hospital visits, steroids, pain meds, muscle relaxers, and Neurontin, I'm 2 weeks in and still experiencing a lot of discomfort. I did notice that after about 20 minutes, Backaid Max did give a little relief. I’m optimistic that this pill will at least take the edge off at night and I can get some rest."

For Back Pain "These are currently saving my sanity. I've been having really bad throbbing, pulsing headaches for about a week now. 9 out of 10 pain level. Two doctors now, and so far no relief. Going to see a third, but in the meantime, I've been taking these because I can't take ibuprofen. I have no idea what Pamabrom even does for acetaminophen, but this stuff works where Tylenol 8 hours didn't even touch my pain. I take one pill every 8 hours. That's it. No side effects that I can tell."

For Back Pain "I came across this looking for a normal go-to for my back, was kinda leery but thought what the heck. Took it when I got home and before bed, woke up, and my lower back isn't hurting at all. I have DDD with 4 back surgeries already. I honestly didn't think this would do anything, but I did my normal nightly routine with pain meds and the heating pad, hoping it wasn't just a fluke and keeps working!!!"

For Back Pain "I will recommend this to anyone. I actually ran across this at the pharmacy. It was on the bottom of the shelf and for a good price. When I took it, I felt relief within 20 mins and was able to get a good night's rest."

For Back Pain "Very sudden and severe back pain after bending sideways in the bathroom, continuing for 4 days, reduced 80% with two doses of this medicine. Ibuprofen, SN 15, and Advil could not bring down pain. Good relief from pain."

For Back Pain "Instant relief right away! My lower back had been bothering me for a while, and I couldn't find any relief, nor did I have a prescription to aid in relief. Tried this over the counter, I'm impressed! Affordable too!"

For Back Pain "I'm suffering from sciatica and was really excited after reading the reviews in here. I've been to the Dr. & Hospital, and nothing they give me works at all. Backaid Max did nothing for my pain, so save yourself the money and just ride it out, because this stuff doesn't help."

For Back Pain "I purchased Backaid Max yesterday for a bulging disc, as the doctor is only prescribing one pill a day of Norco to be broken in half. I was in so much pain, and I took this without prescription medication, and it worked. I am so glad I found this to supplement my medication. I will be having surgery soon, and I am in shock with how little medicine the doctor is prescribing for my pain. I also need another surgery after this one. I could not be more thankful for finding Backaid Max."

For Back Pain "OMG! I had been having back pain for 3 days. At first, I thought I did something at work because of the type of work I do, a lot of lifting heavy paint daily. Then I thought maybe when I started back exercising, I may have pulled a muscle, not sure, but I couldn't bend over. When I use the bathroom, I had to turn sideways. When I went to bed at night, I had trouble sleeping, and then the pain went from my back to the whole left side of my body, was hurting. So I put a heating pad on me, didn't work! Tried pain pills from the doctor, put me to sleep but did nothing for pain! Went to work the next day and looked for back items, read the boxes, saw what was being sold the most, and gave it a try. I also bought the wraps for 97 cents and also bought the small packages of menthol for .97 that you put in your water for minor aches and pain I'm feeling."

For Back Pain "Overworked muscles retain water. The pressure in the muscles from the water retention causes pain and cramps. Backaid Max is composed of acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) and a diuretic (water releaser). The diuretic releases retained water in the muscles, which subsides the pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. No topical ointment, heating pads, cold packs, etc. can release retained water in overworked muscles. Puffiness and pain behind the kneecap joint is due to water or fluid retention from overworked legs. Backaid Max works in that instance as well. I've given it out on construction job sites, and people get fast relief. This is my take on this product, and for me, it works."

For Back Pain "I have tried this medication twice, and both times it has eased my back pain… but I woke up with both my legs and arms numb. And I don’t have any health problems. Not good! Dangerous. I won’t be taking this again. I urge you to check with a doctor first."

For Back Pain "My back is so bad, and I have tried every pill, and nothing helps. I was so desperate, so I gave this a try and figured it’s not going to work, BUT on day one, wow, went from 10 pain to 1!!!!! Now on day four and feeling so much relief. Better sleep too. Would wake up about six times a night in back pain, and the last three nights I slept pain-free! Thank you so much. Will be getting more."
