Flexeril leg cramps
Common Questions and Answers about Flexeril leg cramps
flexeril
I just live with it and appreciate the moments not cramped -- I get the feet/toe, leg and hand cramps like when you cramp from swimming. Motrin OTC helps some but honestly not enough to bother taking it. I really had no idea what coming off a ton of meds would be like -- wish I had some clue. Hydro is viocodin or percocets (?) - it should be fairly manageable. I would probably taper over a week and then go CT but that is ME.
I have severe back pain to the point I wake up sleeping on my back because I esentially get 'stuck' it feels like its out of joint at times. Also severe leg cramps most of the time I can't sit stand or lay without discomfort to the point I have trouble sleeping at all. Is flexeril harmful to my baby at 29 weeks?? I was thinking of taking a half pill. Not for regular use, just in extreme pain.
I have taken flexeril, could not take more than a 1/4 or I would feel very odd. Maybe that was a good thing. You can get a pill cutter and start cutting your dose. We aren't allowed to talk about how to dose hopefully you can get the jist of this. While trying to wean down I would up your vitamins. There is something called a Thomas Recipe but that is for narcotics,so not sure if it would work for you. Your muscles may need more magnesium than normal.
I used to discribe the siatic pain as if someone took a rubberband and was pulling it as tight as possible then connecting it to an electrical current. I know what you are talking with the leg cramps..awful. I am glad to hear the stretching and strengthening excercises are working for you. If the leg cramps keep up,discuss it with your dr,he can give you something for muscle spasms which helps...my dr gave me flexeril.
My 8+years old bull mastiff was doing fine until yesterday afternoon when he started limping and dragging his left rear leg. His spine looked crooked. It was worse today, so I doubled his meloxicam.
Would it be okay to give him 5 milligrams of flexeril?
He is 90 lbs.
Last examined June 13 by vet.
I am new to this site, saw your post, and feel compelled to tell you about my experience with Flexeril. Several years ago I was having serious neck spasms, so my doctor prescribed Flexeril. I don't remember the milligram, it was standard, and I was to take 3 a day. The first day I took three, I found myself looking at my bottle of pain medication thinking about taking the whole bottle at once! I immediately threw the Flexeril in the trash.
I am still in limbo land but my neurologist didn't answer my question at my last appointment about my muscle spasms (even though I'm mid-testing I feel like I'm going to change, he doesn't listen or answer my questions well). Anyways. It's all so confusing and I would like to understand a little bit more.
The ones I'm specifically asking about are the big thigh muscles on the front of my legs and my groin muscles.
They just feel tight all of the time and nothing is loosening them up. It is not cramps like charlie horses, at least in my arm.
Last night was just horrible. No matter how I put my arm it just hurt. In fact, it was the first night since I've had this problem (over a month now) where I've woken up because of it and cried out that it hurts to my husband. It is still really tight and achey today and now my right thumb is having severe cramping off and on all day.
You might want to talk with your doc about checking your blood levels of minerals -- and not just blood sugar. Some folks (athletes) get relief from muscle cramps by increasing potassium and others have improvement with small amounts of quinine.
I'm also not a doctor, so do talk about these possibilities with him/her since these things might not "mix well" with your current conditions or meds.
Let us know what you find out. Leg cramping seems not uncommon among diabetics.
I have been able to sleep without any muscle relaxers for the last 3 nights. only feeling an occassional slight muscle twitch in my leg. I thought it would never end but it did! I've been able to sleep 9-10 hours a night for 3 days. I'm still very tired tho for some reason, I suppose after the hell of a year of treatment for hep-c, and 2 months detoxing off hydro, being tired is "normal". To those of you going thru it, hang on, it will get better.
Does anyone know very much about Flexeril? I just received an call from someone that thinks they may have overdosed on it. He usually does not take it and took up to ten 10mg tablets today and feels somewhat out of it. 100mg in one shot shouldn't do too much should it? He is in No. CA and I'm in So. CA so I can't get to him. Should I be concerned about him not waking up? Apparently he took six of them yesterday and I read the half life is 1-3 days.
Omg I woke up to some bad leg cramps I couldn't do nothing but scream what can I do to make them go away I'm 27weeks 5days and suggestions help
Lately everytime I am sleeping I am waking up with really painful leg cramps. Yesterday I had to get out of bed to stretch it out and it seemed like it was taking forever to go away. Now today I woke up with one in my other leg.....what can I do to get rid of these? Im constantly stretching my legs, wiggling my toes, and moving my ankles.
Try eating more bananas. I think the potasium in them help w cramps.
