THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Painkillers like aspirin, Aleve and Advil don't help most people with back pain, a new review finds.
The researchers estimated that only one in six people gained a benefit from taking these nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Meanwhile, previous research has suggested that another common painkiller, Tylenol (acetaminophen), isn't very useful either, the study authors added.

I know that nothing works for me. I take the NSAIDs more in the hope that they'll take the edge off the pain.

I'm one of the 1 in 6 I guess. Advil gelcaps work just fine for both my back and my right leg when they start bugging me. :shrug:

NSAIDs damage your kidneys and can lead to high blood pressure in the long run.
You might try Curamin, or Tumeric... its one of the only natural remedies that has worked for me.
