Best pain reliver
Advil is part of my daily medicine routine for chronic back pain and arthritis pain. It works well for me and always has. Far superior to Tylenol, which I had to take before surgery... that did nothing at all. HIGHLY recommend Advil.

Does absolutely nothing for me
I'm not in a wheelchair or anything, but I have chronic back, hip and pelvic pain due to arthritis and also have fibromyalgia. Aspirin and acetaminophen work for me to an extent, but sometimes they're not enough. I tried this in the hopes that it would help, as I don't have prescription painkillers. I am one of those people, apparently, for whom ibuprofen does nothing. This was a waste of money for me.

The product works extremely well for headaches and for sports injuries in particular -- what I use it for most of the time -- and the liquid gel form does seem to work faster than the caplet or tablet forms. However, the brand-name "Advil" costs a LOT -- there are generic versions of the liqui-caps that work just as well at about half the price. I'm a medical professional, and I trust the generic ibuprofen just as much as the name brands.

I have arthritis in my upper back and don't take prescription painkillers. Advil works wonders on my pain. I take it when I know I will be standing or walking for an extended length of time.
About a year ago I broke my hip when I already had arthritis. I tried it seems about every over the counter drug on the market for pain so decided to try Advil. Ordinarily I had been sticking to Ibuprofen and that helps but thought Advil might be better. In my case didnt see the differerence. Many Pharmacists have told me just stick with the generic Ibuprofen, that there is not one iota of difference in that and the name brand; that the generic has the absolute same contents as the name brand; the only difference being a rather big one: PRICE. It,s fantastic to see the difference in price of these two products so it makes no sense to me to buy the brand name when I can get exactly the same thing much, much, less.
