I've tried many other pain killers for my lower back injury, but these seem to work the best, with minimal side effects. Granted, I could use something heavier, but then the side effects outweigh the benefits of pain relief.

I was considering switching to seasonale since it’s a lower dose of hormones, and hopefully my weigh... View full comment
