In a moment i’m going to give you my entire remedy to get rid of lower back pain for good if you’ve ever had low back pain you may have scanned the shelves of your local drugstore or filled a prescription from your doctor but not all medicines are created equal here are the top five for low back pain number one is acetaminophen or tylenol your doctor may suggest
This is a first line treatment it works by stopping the pain process but it doesn’t reduce inflammation in the body acetaminophen tends to be gentler on the stomach than other meds but while it can be helpful in relieving toothaches headaches and pain after surgery there’s not a lot of evidence to indicate it works as well for back pain the risks are it can damage
