"Although I rarely suffer back pain I lifted something incorrectly. The pain in lower back was instant and all the muscles in that area became inflamed. Any movement was unbearable. Dr examined me and determined the problem and prescribed this medication and told to rest. I took a dose of two Norgesic straight away and went to bed sleeping for most of the day (they have a sedative affect on me). Next day I was able to get out of bed by myself. Continued taking as prescribed the following day and by day 3 pain completely gone muscles relaxed, no longer inflamed so ceased medication. For me these meds performed a miracle."

"For many years, wake up 2-3 hours after going to bed with really bad back pain. Had tried chiropractors, massage, yoga and stretches, inversion table, mersyndol forte, and NSAIDS. Not sure what is causing the pain, I suspect Ankolysing Spondilitis. Since taking norgesic, I can sleep 6-8 hours continously. Very little side effects. Not sure yet if this is going to be an ongoing thing but at least I am getting sleep like I haven't experienced in some 20 years or more."

"Absolutely useless to relieve this acute middle back pain that's been crippling me for 4 days. Codeine or Oxycodone is 100% better. Not only that but I had to pay full price as opposed to PBS. Useless will never again."

"I start taking this medicine when I was 36 year of age for about 3 years but really did not notice any side effects. Then I stop for 28 years and now starting to get back this problem so I am back to try it again. I read most of the comment about the side effects but after all there is no medicine without side effect at some level. Also I think this goes with the age and the life style. I don't take any medicine at all I always go for herbs over tablet normally. I am starting now with only 2 tablets a day and going to see the results and if it needs I am going to increase the dosage."

"GP prescribed this to reduce muscle pain/spasms in the back. While it did aid sleep and reduced spasms, the raging headache, hot/cold sweats, vomiting, and unable to focus my eyes will ensure I take no more. The negatives outweigh the benefits."

"Other said this again but I am going to repeat: lifted some weights the wrong way (squats), got lower back pain. A bit of norgesic later and now I am good as new! Just be careful guys, if pain persists beyond lower back and is also on your legs, be sure to visit physician."

"Used norgesic as needed for 40 years for muscle spasms and muscle aches. Worked wonderful! Have found nothing as effective since they stopped making norgesic!"
