Paracetamol ‘no good for back pain'

[annie]

I could have told them this!!!!! lol

Paracetamol is ineffective at treating back pain and osteoarthritis despite being a recommended treatment, a group of Australian researchers has warned.

Their review of 13 clinical trials, published in the British Medical Journal, said the drug did not reduce disability or improve quality of life.

Paracetamol does not help my arthritis, so I agree .

I take Ibuprofen for any pain which I buy myself.

But Paracetamol is good for taking your Temperature down.

I had intravenous paracetamol when i was in hospital and that was really good.

paracetamol seems to be the main painkiller that is thrown at every illness.
