  • Not exactly. Just a fun fact and disclaimer that I use generics if at all possible. But my pharmacology class taught that generics can have higher tolerance of error in % of active ingredient. Not usually a big deal unless the drug has a very narrow therapeutic range, meaning too little doesn’t work and too much will harm you. 99.9% of generics is fine. But if you ever wonder if one batch of your med doesn’t seem to work as well this it’s likely that batch was on the lower end of acceptable.












  • For non traumatic low back pain you can try ice, lidocaine patches, NSAIDs and stretching. It still may bug you for a week or more. For long term need to implement some exercises.

    Quad/hamstring stretches are vital. And can give good relief.

    Also. Avoid heat and aggressive stretching/exercise early on. It may feel a bit better for the moment but can make inflammation/pain worse or last longer

    You should see a doctor and get XR if you experience worsening symptoms or numbness/tingling.
