I have fibromyalgia and a chronic low back condition where my vertebre itself swells if irritated. (yeah - not fun) The pills suprised the heck out of me. I want something to treat the swelling not just the pain. I can't be on steroids all the time. Naproxen is limited. So I tried these back pills. I was extremely pleased with the result. I did not expect as much relief as I got. I had ...

My 56 year old husband died within 6 hours of taking one of these pills! Unfortunately, diabetics sometimes have poor eyesight. He only took one of these pills as evidenced by the package contents and it was his first time using the product. The warning on the label is so small that it is criminal in my opinion. I urge Doan's to make the warning sings larger. We have suffered greatly from his lo...

Doan's Pills are miraculous! From my experience, they make lower back pain disappear and do it within minutes! Not an exaggeration. I don't have chronic back pain but occasionally strain back muscles doing heavy carrying or twisting. It's miserable: painful, causing sleepless nights, distracted days. I first bought Doan's Pills ten years ago after suffering a bad strain. I remembered their ads from the 60s and 70s, and that they were composed of only one or two ingredients. After looking at all the multiple pain meds in the drugstore and the myriad chemical ingredients, I decided that less is more and--what the heck--if it didn't work, at least I'd know. It only took a few minutes --5 maybe--and the pain was noticeably subsiding. By 10 minutes, the pain was barely noticeable. I took 4 tablets in 24 hrs for first episode. That was it. Since then, any time I have back pain, I take Doans. They work every time. I don't understand how, or why more people don't know about these pills, but I'm so glad they're still around. P.S. You might have to look on the bottom shelf at drugstore. The more popular products take over the higher shelves.Read More Read Less

I don't know why but Doans Pills seem to go right to my back pain faster and better than any other OTC NSAID! It just works!

Worked extremely well. I've had major back surgeries , have 2 eighteen rods, 25 screws and still have pain. Doans pills work very very well.

When other OTC products failed, I remembered using Doanâ??s Pills years ago for a pulled back muscle. It was difficult to walk at times because of pain in my lower back, but less than an hour after taking 2 pills the discomfort was 90% gone.

Surprisingly, Doan's worked well for reducing (but not completely eliminating) my back pain. I didn't want to go to the doctor, pay for an office visit, plus the high cost of prescription drugs, so I was a happy guy!

I did not get any relief from my back pain whatsoever. Decided to try it because I'm not supposed to take anything with ibuprofen in it due to ulcers. I very much hoped that I would be in less pain but unfortunately that's not happening.

I have finally found a pain reliever called Doan's that helps my back pain and of course it's no longer available. Why is my luck so horrible.
