These guys are legit amazing human beings and quite frankly best content makers of physiotherapy material. So much knowledge is pushed into their videos, and literally if people followed at least 25% of what Bob and Brad suggests - they would extremely likely walk pain free. Like in this podcast, they called this pharmacists guest to essentially highlight that physiotherapy is the best way to live pain free and not to push medication use without a good reason. I really appreciate this type of honest work.
What's fun is when you're on these meds for so long the side effects no longer affect you, but the meds still do what they are supposed to. With my MS, chronic sciatica, and herniated disc (L5/S1), I've been on Baclofen for close to 18 years and Zanaflex for at least 10 years. I'm also on a plethora of other meds that are supposed to make you sleepy, but because I've been on them for so long, I no longer get that particular side effect. What I take on a daily basis would probably knock a "normal" person out for days, if not half kill them. Ahhh, the "beauty" of being chronically ill...
a trick: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Harvey Caiden definitely, I have been using flixzone for since november myself :)
@Harvey Caiden Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
How much sclerosis do you have
Wow I thought I was alone. Chronic pain does end up increasing the tolerance level of our bodies. And personally I avoid medications due to the fact that they deteriorate the organs on a long term. BUT SEEING UR CMNT CLAIMS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. IMPRESSIVE
Wish I had this information when I herniated 3 lumbar discs and began having muscle spasms in 1992 and could have actually healed. Been through years of PT, acupuncture, TENS, ice, heat, prescriptions, microsurgery, nothing able to get pain below a 5 in 20 years, (and most days is 8) still have muscle spasms and have just accepted that I will always be in pain and will never be whole or functional again.
😥😥😥😥😥same here omg
I cant even believe that they even try us on those TENS machines. I went crazy at them trying to tell me that a tens machine isnt a glorified muscle contractor. People use them as the lazy way to get mostly abs so the electric makes the muscles contact rather than you do it in the gym. Thats all a tens machine is. Ibtold them they may as well spat in my face giving me that shite for even a try when the thing islts self isnt even actully proved to do anything for pain. And when i say pain i mean real chronic pain. Wste if time and money and horrible for the patient making them wait to try real thingd that work.
Im bow waitng on baclofen. I have damaged discs in my backz dehydrated ones in my neck. Steriod injections work great because steroids work. But medcial companys wouldnt make money of we got better 1st go.
Cant wait to try baclofen. Fingers crossed.
I hope you're feeling a bit better these days, Shelly ❤
Very 😢sorry…
I'm very appriciative for this video.
Love you fellas. Thank you. ❤️🙏
I have Cyclobenzaprine. It will knock me out for two days. Even half the pill. So I only use it if I have over exerted myself. Physical therapy is my best friend. I have Fibromyalgia. The exercises help me function.
Thanks you just help me figure out why I cant wake up doc gave me cyclobenzaprine i took it yesterday it knock me out all day today
Thanks you just help me figure out why I cant wake up doc gave me cyclobenzaprine i took it yesterday it knock me out all day today
I took 5 mgs once for a buzz, because I'm a user of alcohol and opioids (AKA I like downers), and it was the worst idea I ever made. you feel like shit for the entire next day after and even that's still not nearly as bad as how you feel while on it. it's like a shitty benadryl buzz mixed In with a low dose of Dextromethorphan (over the counter drugs that I abused as a teen), I will stick with my alcohol and opioids...they ruin me but at least I feel good while they ruin me. This cyclobenzaprine stuff seems like it not only has the potential to totally ruin a person but you won't even enjoy being on it. so much better ideas for muscle relaxation.
They don't stop pain. Why won't they prescribe pain killers ? And Ibuprofen and Tylenol is useless for severe pain.
Pain killers? Do you mean opiates?
Any opioids pain meds , eventually your body builds tolerance, almost ineffective for me now…but there aren’t many options after max dosage allows….withdrawals pain is just as excruciating . So don’t bother to increase dosages 😢.
I just need a short term get-out-of-pain so i know i can breathe! I have never abused opiates! I stay home, dont drive or work! I am the perfect candidate for opiates!
@@LydiaStarz i hear you.. i am in same mode years..its inhumane!!! 💙🙏✨
@@LydiaStarz The don’t allow pain killers but allow enough fentynal over the border to kill every person in the US multiple times over. Not to mention they are now combining in fentynal a drug that makes NARCAN not work.
Been taking them for years for Neck tension, muscle knots and esophageal spasms.. too many stomach issues to take any type pain killer
Have you found anything that works? I have neck tension ans muscle knots on my traps. I've only been given muscle relaxers (they do nothing), and PT. PT only makes the pain go away for a little
@@tyanag9938 the only thing I do during the daytime for the pain is rest periods and stretches that I found very helpful here on TH-cam. But at night when it's sleepy time I won't sleep because I can't relax My shoulders and just hurts to turn or get comfortable. So that's when I take my muscle relaxer pretty much it's just that I can relax enough to sleep. Tylenol is the only pain medicine that I take because of my stomach problems and I can't really take much of that at all. I wished I had a better answer for you but really look into the stretches on here because they do work surprisingly!
I've done physical therapy. It's great while you're doing it. Afterwards, the pain comes back.
@Rottie Bull good point
Agree to a point. I found doing decompression treatments and TINS kept it under control. Hate pills
Disagree. That's how muscle relaxants are in my experience-- effective while you're on them, but the day after you stop taking them, you're down again. Physical therapy takes commitment, but will eventually get you healed. They have it right in this video-- drugs to get you functioning when you're in the worst of it, physical therapy to get you healed up.
You have to CONTINUE to do what they have taught you for the rest of your life or the weakness and pain WILL come back.
I have a spinal cord injury and fibromyalgia and use baclofen for preventing and treating painful spasms.
I take tizanidine 4 mg my shoulders tense insanely. This med relaxes me so I can sleep really well. I'm 60. I've been on it for 5 years.
Amen brother
I love your profile picture! 😍
@@FantasticExplorers thanks loved the show and it helps avoid comments about my real appearance.
I take cyclobenzophine and it does not help at all.
@The S Word if you're referring to cbd oil it doesn't help
I was prescribed muscle relaxants for fibromyalgia caused by the trauma of a c-section. I hated them. I was so sleepy. Being half asleep all day doesn't work with 4 kids!
I went to a chiropractor and he helped realign my neck and back. Then an occupational therapist who helped me with myofacial release. I started an exercise program with stretching geared toward fibromyalgia.
21 years later I still have fibro. I still have pain. But I am able to go through life without muscle relaxants, or prescription pain meds (so far).
My advice is always to try all the other modalities and therapies before the pills. No shame in using them, but they just come with their own problems.
Facts
Thank You for sharing your experience. When I tried to get as much therapy as I possibly can, my public aid insurance refused to pay for my extended therapy.
@@boostmobile5326 That can be a huge problem. I'm sorry you went through that.
I was really happy that my chiropractor offered a cash (no insurance) fee that was cheaper. Not all services do that.
I don't take them unless I'm in big pain. They make you tired into the next day...I just want to stay in bed.
I read.that robaxin causes less sleepiness but it upsets my stomach
i call muscle knots pain in my back "suicide pain" and muscle relaxers don't help !
Oppo 0000p88
I know the feeling....I've wanted amputation of a leg to make the pain go away.
The Beers List was an important advance, but there is nothing magic physiologically about the age of 65. It’s really a continuum of increasing adverse effects with age, and I write this as a pharmacoepidemiologist and clinical trials doc.
I have osteoarthritis in both knees but the right side is in constant pain whether sitting, standing, walking and even while I'm asleep. I can go to the doctor, run errands, or go to the store and when I get home, my muscles will be so sore and I will catch bad cramps while sleeping and during waking hours the next day. I drink tons of water and take magnesium so I know I'm not dehydrated. But I will take a muscle spasm pill (methocarbomal) to relax the muscles and try to reduce the chance of having cramping in my legs, feet and sometimes back.
My Mom’s left knee is bone on bone and pinching the nerves really bad. Tylenol helps to a certain degree but we would like to figure out a better solution
Baclofen helps my emotional and physical pain to a point....coming out of a rough patch, so using daily....
I’ve been on max dose flexerall for over 10 yrs I’m 5 ft 6 110 lbs so under weight a little bit But since I am trying to quit this I can’t maintain I am losing more weight. I didn’t think I was addicted because I could skip a day but found out I start to feel bad wo it after 2 days
I have a very stiff neck, went to the ER and got a muscle relaxer and I just took it about 2-hrs ago and I can now move my neck
I can tell when the pain is building and not responding to stretches/exercises. I take Flexural in a low dose to help with sleep for a couple of days. If not enough, I’ll see the chiropractor. Twice I had to go to emergency because the spasms/pain was dangerously ramping up my blood pressure.
I take flexerile too ,,when im in extreme pain...so long as its managed well...if I take too much it makes me hot and I can't wake up..so I split up my pill
@@annafantastic1115 I have a really low dose. 30mg. I can max it to 3 doses per day. I’ve only had to do that three times (incl. the 2 times I went to emergency.) Usually the 30mg. before bed will get me to sleep. I rarely need to stay on Flexural for more than a few days. The chiropractor will do deep massages and careful adjustments when I need them.
Mistyped. 10mg with a daily maximum of 30 mg.
Great talk guys, some good info as always.
If the pain is caused by muscle tension then yes. Muscle relaxants can even be used for certain types of headaches. Especially ones that involve tension in the neck. The headache is typically caused by muscle tension. So muscle relaxants usually do well to diminish the headache's effects
Love yall dudes. Great information all in all.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information
CRPS FM hEDS POP TOS scoliosis cervical spinal fusion chemo damage etc... I have to use methocarbamol and diazepam or I wouldn’t be able to move.
Same here. With my hEDS, Dercum's Disease, Degenerative Discs, etc... That sounds like a good combo. I'm on Cyclobenzaprime and Alprazolam. But your combo would work better for me.
If you notice they never addressed the question of pain. Because muscle relaxers do NOTHING for pain. Zero.
I agree
Agreed.
He did say they are only a "band-aid" for pain.
I have 3 years muscle spasm in my neck and back. Help pls. Pls
I’ve used both Baclofen and Flexoril neither worked for my terrible mid back muscle spasms, any other meds that may work, at the end of my rope.
How are you now?
Yes I agree with you. My only desires is to get as much therapy as possible but the public aid insurance only pays and approves limited physical therapy sessions and I hate muscle relaxers because they give me a head ache and feeling hanged over.
Muscle relaxers make my pain worse. I was taking it for chronic leg spasms and severe leg cramps and RLS. The pain is so bad my legs actually jerk up off of the bed, and my feet turn in. It lasts for 10-12 hours, constant agony.
they have no idea why im having bladder pain. so he prescribed muscle relaxer. seems to help a little.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve done physical therapy, yoga, acupuncture, chiropractor, tens unit, massage, kinesiotherapy, meds, creams, decompression, ice, heat, foam rolling, shoe insoles, diet, hyperbaric oxygen, epidural. I don’t have nerve problems so they won’t do surgery. And none of that stuff works. I don’t know what to do. It’s causing my mental health to plummet.
Superior to the PT and Rx is trigger point release technique with acupuncture!
Excellent video...thanks for the great information!
Damn, I’ve been taking Tizanadine for years. 😥
Somas were the only thing that would actually relax my muscles. I have tried them all nothing helps.
They work good until the.sleepiness kicks in.which I don't like.take care
This is the case with me as well.
My Muscle Relaxers helps relax tone in my hand. I take the muscle relaxer only at night, because it will put you to sleep. Daytime, I don't because it turns into a disaster.
I also find Trihexyphenidyl an effective antispasmodic.
Thank you
Very heLpful. I exercise daily but have herniated disc and now pinched nerve in neck.I do PT but its not working. My sciatic leg getting worse so I take forceful 2 or 3 times a week. I don't want to but the pain is severe
So sorry to hear that. Sounds like you need to go to a PT in person with all your things together so they can monitor it!
@@BobandBrad yes just started yesterday
Thanks so much
Anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers are not suppose to be used long term! Long term use causes major damage to organs and muscles can waste. 5 -7 days he says and he is right! Not long term!
Definitely I know a lot of people who have fatty liver from otc medicine alone in their 40s
@@supersaiyanzero386 which otc meds Can cause fatty liver?
my doc prescibed me 20 days
Muscle relaxants are such a misnomer.... they just depress your central nervous system, instead of directly relaxing the muscle
I definitely think that’s true for most of them, especially flexaril. However, I’m pretty sure that soma is a true muscle relaxant. Fact check that though, don’t take my word on it.
I'm learning that does any muscle relaxer interacts with antiviral called sarcover. It can lower the blood pressure
I have spinal nerve damage from pilonidal sinus disease .
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia I had a side effects from carbamazepine that definitely worked for it. I now take baclofen that seems to be helping so far. Crossing my fingers. Trigeminal neuralgia for those who don’t know use to be caused the suicide disease back in the day. In the face and head.
Trigeminal Not caused suicide disease but called the suicide disease.
Oh sorry maybe I missed this if you are on muscle relaxers because of pain for example from fibromyalgia, and you have a physical job does the med make you more prone to injury. I know you said it spasms as a over protection from an injury, but for instance I'm not sure I hurt myself. Maybe I just over did it.. with fibromyalgia sometimes it doesn't take much.
Can u take muscle relaxing medicin only when really needed like one or 3 pills pr Month and still feel the releve?
So not Daily use.
Those of us allergic to aspirin (and therefore all inflammatories) we have no choice. Tylenol or muscle relaxers.
I thought I was the only one allergic to aspirin and all inflammatory drugs. It does suck.
Me too
“..it doesn’t make sense.”
I agree.
Well tinadizine 4mg makes me sleepy and go to sleep sometimes . I mean it works for me.
Is mydocalm used for mussle rotator cuff damage?
This is a great guest. Very informative.
People are going to avoid back surgery as last resort. I would do pt, then drugs or both before ever going into surgery.
I’m taking Flexeril currently 3 times a day 5mg for sciatica (I’m using a walker and can’t stand at all.)
It helps a little bit, but I definitely sleep constantly. I’m 35 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby.
I’m miserable 😩
😘be well
just remember what ever you take so does your baby
So sorry. I hope you can feel better.
Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this especially while pregnant. I'm going to pray for you right now and for your baby too 💕🕊😊
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this while pregnant. I feel your pain and you are not alone. I am having a severe sciatica flare up due to a herniated disc and started taking Flexeril 3 days ago to help me sleep through the night. I’m also using a walker and I’m only 37 years old. I’m way too young to be having these issues yet here we are. I will pray that we both get some relief soon and can sleep through the night.
Whenever I take a muscle relaxer I seem to get depressed
Could very well be. Whenever I take them, they put me to sleep.
Diazepam works for hiatus hernia and muscle pain, my nerve pain and bowel pains I’ve still undiagnosed. Quality over quantity bc I’m ready for revenge for the torture I’ve endured for 7 years in the UK.
Dang you guys got a lot of subscribers 💯
My kids and I sing your theme song!
Diazepam also addictive
Video and audio out of sync?
Nice
Ok so I have scoliosis, and the doctor gave me cyclobenzaprine twice. And it doesn’t seem to be numbing my spine I just feel a lil sleepy. But I had got an OxyContin from a good friend, and it numb my back.
I really feel like im out of options, im waiting to get a scheduled date for my orthopedic so they can check my back and im thinking ima have to get surgery. My pain is out of this work I never felt nun like this. I literally lay and bed all day and feel a lil hopeless cus I can’t do anything. But like I said oxy’s worked. Should ask my doctor for the oxy’s ?
First they probably will do a drug test.
@@pursedelighted drug test checkin for what exactly?
Is it our mattress?
I get mine no lie when I hear my kids
I wish the guy that looks like John Gotti would let the guy that looks like Bruce Jenner talk without interrupting him. JMHO
Does an ice pack make the muscles relax ??
The ice relieved the soreness after a flare up! For me even though my sudden pain last a split second, getting over the pain last 10-15 min.hope you fell better soon🌄
What about Flexeril?
They're talking about it using the other name for Flexeril, which is Cyclobenzaprine.
Wish I had a support system like B&B and guest. Fibromyalgia....the nurse I see, when I've actually gone (have never even seen the doctor) has no knowledge, suggestions or interest. Just stopped going, not worth the humiliation, just diy it and exist (!) with the pain. Can't get family doctors in Canada.
No family practitioners?
I used a topical magnesium that helped a bit
Not to be contrary, but we use "special" cookies instead of several other commonly used patent medicines.
If we were able to fix things with "conventional" medicine then we wouldn't have the phrase "reached the limits of conventional medicine".
Regenerative medicine is the future, and it's already here.
Intractable pain shouldn't be as common a thing as it is.
Definitely helps me. Pinched nerve is a son of a bitch
Sounds like a Gaggle of Hens
I have a muscle spasm from coughing too hard from smoking THC wax and the muscle relaxers and they do not help I even been taking Tylenol and Motrin with it and nothing is the only thing that hooked me a little bit was a hydrocodone but the dick heads only gave me one they should have wrote out a prescription of hydrocodone and muscle relaxers but it's hard to get drugs these days especially when you need it
Is this safe to take for people with chest anxiety crucial chest tension? To the point where it feel like it’s hard to take deep breath. I want to try be just need to know if anyone has experienced the same thing and tried cylobenzaprine?
Please be careful with flexeril it can cause heart valve damage.take.care
I have been given Methocarbamol. Cyclobenzaprine would be better! What a joke.
Never mix muscle relaxers with other medications or drink while taking them
I was in a car accident and I have spinal injury now. Is it possible to fix it thru therapy or is it all just temporary? I quit going cuz I don't see the point
That sounds like a mentally tough situation, I am sorry you feel that way. It is hard to get the motivation when you do not see results. However, when it comes to therapy a lot of the effects are based on presistance and commitment to the exercises. (It will take time. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for soft tissue injuries to heal and 6 to 8 weeks for bone to start regrowing. So in the same manner it is a test of patience, it will take time.) It would be hard to say with regards to the specific symptoms that you are having... However, therapy would definitely help with signs such as loss of muscle strength, loss of range of motion, pain, some sensory things and general well being. It also reduces the risk of cardio vascular disease, diabetes etc. Do not give up on yourself. Hang in there!
I’m in the same situation. I went to PT and cause me more pain . Now doctor wants to give me a steroid shot . I said NO . So now I have to find how to cure myself . This doctor all they care is about money .
Speak and look at the camera/viewer/patient. Have a scrip, as such. still cool.
hELLO
Nope
Anxiety and panic also tightens the muscles/spasm...I wonder if muscle relaxers like Tizanidine help for this?
it does!!! I have chronic TMJ / neck pain / back / and INTENSELY tight muscles and muscle spasms, i took Tizanidine at night cuz it makes u sleep, but the doc thinks i have Fibromyalgia so i’m trying a diff muscle relaxant. And i panic a lot , but def need meds because this is chronic, muscles won’t stop spasming
@@ayeitsnouraofficial hi which muscle relaxant did they give you for the fibromyalgia? And how many nights did u take the Tizanidine?

Woooooo am I first
Please find me
I fell into corner of kitchen counter. SEVERE PAIN. So bad i cant breathe. Go to ER. Xrays. They say i bruised a rib. They give me 1 pill of Norco. Pill not shot? No morphine? No a pill. Then they announce i can go home. Then a different nurse comes in and announces "we are giving you a prescription for a muscle relaxer! Im like "i took tizanidine at home with no relief!" Nurse says "well this one will work. Its methocarbamol". B.S. I was dying from shortness of breathe and severe pain as nurse walked me to front door! Wtf?? I am now 100% convinced that we (people on ssi or disability) are being KILLED OFF! If the jab doesnt do it, they find other ways. Like denying pain killer to a 62 yr old woman with blunt force trauma. I am no better than i was. Convinced i will die. Scared. Screwed...
Wow. METHOCARBAMOL WORKS FOR ME. GOD BLESS YOU.
@@chrisgladney6581 it works now that the internal swelling has subsided. And it helps that my appetite came back cos these pills are hard on my stomach.

Hi Lydia! To a degree, I understand how you feel. I’m on Medicaid and surgery five years ago to remove my entire meniscus. The surgery lessened me, it also went one hour longer than they told me it would. I’ve been begging for a knee replacement for four years, but they tell me I have to wait until I’m 65, I’m 50. Now I have a huge crazy painful hip labrum tear bc they’ve waited too long to fix my knee. I get no pain relievers either. Scared is no way to go though life, so don’t be. It’s the only thing within your power that you can control, not your pain, but your fear. Control your fear. I too feel screwed. It’s like we paid the bill, but didn’t get anything for it. Medicaid is a hoax upon the American people. Canada, all of the U.K. and Europe give their citizens socialized healthcare from the time they are born. Many problems with our system. I’m sorry for your misfortune and hope we both get by the relief we deserve. Stay strong..things change.
Absolutely non professional pair.
Its entertainment & know very little because they only shoot video's on TH-cam
Took 3 mins to even talk about it.

Being an Englishman this wouldn't fly here.
METHOCARBAMOL isn't prescribed here why its nothing but trouble.
Valium is the only 1 that helpsme with my failed L5 S1 fusion.
My NY doctor prescribed 30 flexeril a month I’d only use half since I’m s beekeeper and break my back for your purest honey. My Puerto Rico doctor doesn’t prescribe this cause he says this is addictive and he gives me medrol. Which works in about a month. Flexeril has a instant relief. Have you ever had a patient says sheesh doc my perception is that your perception about me is that I’m a pill seeker. And I’m not. I’m in real pain due to beekeeper work. So let’s say I’m as distanced as you are from my pain and I bring in a machete to the office would the doc think it’s reasonable now to give some flex ? Why is the doctor so scared of healing someone’s pain when he can come and show you what pain is 😊😂lol
There’s a difference between acute muscle pain and chronic pain; and between specific pain from an injured muscle like a pulled muscle or overall condition like Fibromyalgia. The relaxers are used for different purposes and therapy as well as chiropractic may or may not help for the medical issue. For my Fibro/IC I need the relaxer so I don’t have to use pain relievers very often. I also use massage therapy, chiropractic and therapy to help my body and mind. So yes, I’m a “lifer” with great doctors.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY...
...
...but it makes me laugh."
-Brad
Ideally, physical therapy SHOULD be the go to method for relief from muscle spasms and injury but our fast paced society does not allow a person to take the time need to allow the body to repair. Therefore the quick fix pharmaceutical is employed to facilitate a person to keep moving and productions. It’s a conundrum. Unfortunately perpetuation of quick fix drugs (that aren’t a real fix) is profitable for several industries. End result? An entire population of walking wounded.
So eloquently put! Made me really think
Thank you!!!
I took Soma when the spasms would start in my back, and it helped.
I used be on it all it did was make me sleep.
I take flexiril, Ive taken it off and on for 7 years. I hope one day I won’t have to.
I switched to Tizanidine it works better but makes me way more tired so idk if it's worth it

Thank you so much for this video. I was in a car accident and currently have a flare up. I don't like how the medication makes me feel so it's good to know there's other options.
The only thing muscle relaxers ever did for me was to tranquilize me. They didn't do a d*** thing for my muscles.
Me to, I took one for my first time at 31 years old two days ago and let me tell u I popped it and within 30 mins to a hour I was walking into the hallway and passed out my brother picked me up and I was out for hours then woke up like wtf and I'm a high cannabis consumer so this shi right here is no joke I have the 10 mg cycleobenzapr
I agree , it seems as though they made the muscles in more pain, I haven’t felt comfortable ever since the injection of Toradol, I’m being waken up out my sleep early morning trying to massage the pain away but it doesn’t help at all. It’s going on two weeks now. I believe I just only need a strong pain medication
@@kandicewright-lm8ym Toradol isn't a muscle relaxer. It's a NSAID
first week on muscle relaxers. I'd rather just see the Chiropractor and get back in shape to walk comfortably. Thanks guys!
They helped me. Stops spasms big time. Got them from a Reclast infusion for your bones. Only thing that helped.
I have sciatic pain I been told muscle relaxers can be addictive. I am recovering addict can't afford be addictive. Physical therapy best for me help me strengthen and stretch to help me get better. Muscle relaxers are just and band aid physical therapy is the healthier way to get better. I hate feeling groggy and recovering addict I am scared I may get addictive I would relapse. I agree to the pharmacist it's best physical therapy helps stretch strengthen your core. I will be seeing my doctor soon ask to get in again with a physical therapist. I love Bob and Brad helped me so much when I had knee replacement. I never taken pain pills I recovered well like I said I am in recovering worked too long and hard not going backwards.
i have severe pain and panic attacks off flexitil i need it to live basically
I get tingling up my neck which depending on how I move my head, makes me a little light headed. I do have tight muscles along my upper shoulders. Also a knot (like a ball), in my left shoulder that when I move my head at a upward angle from left , there's a shooting sharp stabbing pain that travels from the knot, up my neck , to my forehead giving me a 20 sec head rush or migraine. This is all due to my job which is repetitive motion and I'm in one spot all day. It's cause I don't move that much so my muscle tighten up. Couple of times I moved too soon and I hear a crunch noise. Kinda like I released the tightness in my neck. I do feel a little bit better afterwards that's how I know that's the problem.
Did you take this muscle relaxer..? And does it help with your migraine
I have the exact same thing, is it still a problem for you?
Oxytocin is the only thing that works for me
