Muscle relaxer advice....
#1
For weeks now, I've had extreme muscle tension in my upper back, shoulders and neck. Nothing over the counter is working and I finally broke down and got a massage today. Well, it still hurts, keeps causing headaches, and I'm seeing my doctor in the morning to ask about a muscle relaxer.
The caveat: I'm a heavyweight when it comes to meds. What knocks other ppl out doesn't touch me, sadly, so although I don't want the strongest stuff out there, I sure don't want to waste money on something that won't work. I don't think it's my hobby causing the tension because it's just been mostly in the last 3 or 4 weeks and I started quilting in January. And I don't spend that much time on a daily basis sewing at all...
So any suggestions/input very much appreciated,
Sam

I can only remember the one time I was on muscle relaxants, laying in the chair like I was drunk, there was a knock at the door and one of my children 6 or 7 yrs old at the time yelled "Mommy God's here" It was the pastor from our church but I was so embarrassed I could hardly lift my head, I still wonder what he thought! And I did wonder if God had come to relieve the pain! LOL

Flexeril doesnt work for me at all....
Somas are as bit strong for me...
if i break down and take something, its usually Baclofen... which works well for me, but is mostly given for those with MS, so not sure if it works for every1, but is worth checking into to
