"I had a back spasm. The pain went on for almost two weeks. I got a prescription for Skelaxin. It did nothing for me. Taking 800mg of ibuprofen did a better job."

"Makes my back pain tolerable, and helps me stay active. Doesn't always control the pain, but helps quite a bit most of the time. I am using it with Ibuprofen."

"My doctor added this with the Vicodin, no relief of anything and very expensive. I'll stick to Flexeril when I need a muscle relaxer."
