I want to say again how so very pleased I am that Excedrin is working for me.

I have chronic neck and shoulder pain. Haven't really felt this bad in years, but of course stress (travel and my parents) exacerbates it. I was nearly immobile at 4 am last night and on a whim I took some Excedrin. I had resigned myself to the fact that I had built up a tolerance and it wouldn't work. Certainly the caffeine no longer has any effect. But within a few minutes, I was comfortable and moving my head in my pillow without difficulty. Didn't give it much thought until about 4 pm this afternoon when I started locking up again. Again, I took two Excedrin and within minutes I was pain free and mobile. My neck and shoulder pain has NEVER reacted this well to medicine. I imagine this probably implies something like my pain is all in my head and the medicine is having a placebo effect. That's probably it, but whatever works.
