"Pulled a heavy object, I think I did something to my lower back. It was so painful. I can't stand, walk, or sleep properly. I had some Cataflam from my dental work. Tried to eat 2 initially since I read on this web that it will provide better relief in some patients. Boy, it was working just under 24 hours since I took Cataflam, my lower back pain was gone probably around 70%. After that, I took 2 Cataflams a day (1 Cataflam per 12 hours). After 2 days, I almost feel no pain, just still a little bit of discomfort around my lower back. The third day, I stopped the medication since I no longer feel pain. What a wonderful medicine for my lower back pain."

"I had surgery on my spine 10 years ago (herniated disc L5), and around 2 months ago, my back started bothering again. After 2 days of taking it, my pain was gone, walking again and sleeping well. I highly recommend this marvelous medication."

"I've had lower back pain for more than 2 months now, went to see a doctor who explained I have a disk bulge, but the pain I have is caused by a muscle spasm that is pushing against a nerve. Gave me some exercises and pain relief meds. Nothing really worked, then I took Cataflam, which lets the pain go away for 2-3 days (from one pill). I really don't know how it works, but it's the best medicine for back pain I have taken so far. I just hope it doesn't have side effects in the long run."

"I have never used a medication that worked as well as Cataflam. It was as though I was able to actually feel the swelling leaving my body. I had no side effects at all."

"I've had chronic lower back pain for over two years (herniated disk). I can't say for sure what has relieved my pain, but ever since taking diclofenac, my pain almost immediately has gone from being almost completely debilitated, to being able to function physically at the level I was at when pain started. Still have pain and not 100%, but my quality of life is back and I feel much more fluid and agile. For almost six months, I could hardly get out of bed, let alone tie my shoes."
