Hi Zen.....I take flexeril which works pretty good, but it makes me feel drowsy sometimes. Its a muscle relaxer
I take it at bed time for my back pain.
Its sucks to have back pain, I've been bothered by it all
my life. I also take Codeine for it but only when it is really bad and I am unable to function at all.
My doc recommends an ice pack for acute pain and
heat after to relax the muscle.
I have sciatica which is a pinched nerve and the pain radiates down my left leg (really annoying and painful)!!!
Is yours muscular, disc related, or just stress?? Because intense anxiety can cause low back pain
or make it worse...!!!
Maybe it's time to see your primary physician..??
Hope you feel better soon
(((((ZEN88)))))
p.s. I find that walking 1 hour 3 x a week helps. When I sit to much my back pain gets worse or
if I sleep to long in bed it irritates it. So maybe you
need more activity....???? Just a thought???
