It's a scenario we all know: you wake up with a pounding head, a runny nose and - as if that weren't enough - a back that feels like you slept on a rocky surface all night. Being sick is bad enough, but when back pain joins the party, even lying on the couch becomes a challenge.
Why do back pain and illness often come together?
It's no coincidence. Your body's inflammatory response, muscle tension from coughing, and prolonged inactivity all contribute to back pain during illness.

Ibuprofen is often more effective than paracetamol for back pain because it also fights the inflammation causing the pain. Prices range from €2.49 to €12.90 - that's over €10 difference!
