Ibuprofen and muscle relaxers
Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen and muscle relaxers
ibuprofen
The only meds that are non-addictive you can get over the counter, like Ibuprofen and acetaminophen. I don't think muscle relaxers are addictive, except for Soma, at least in my experience, and can sometimes be helpful with neck and back pain. Ibuprofen or Naproxen is good for inflamation and muscle relaxers for spasms. I am not sure what else you can take or what you are looking for.
I am having the same symptoms with my left shoulder, trying to wash and curl my hair is very painful as well as almost impossible. fastening my bra and putting my shirt on is torture . I have had an MRI of my left shoulder and cervical X-Rays they have not found anything. I will go Monday for a cervical MRI, I am praying for some answers. My Dr. prescribed muscle relaxers and 800mg Ibuprofen, which doesn't help.
My doctor recently suggested that I try Amrix as a muscle relaxer, and commented that Valium is addictive (and Amrix not), and that a side benefit of Amrix was that it would help with sleep. I tried it for about ten days, and found that it resulted in an increase in daytime sleepiness. This I can ill afford, as, like most commuters, I`m reasonably sleep deprived anyway, at least during the week. I also couldn't detect much impact on muscle relaxation, and so I stopped.
soma is not for most people but it can be a problem for some...zanaflex, flexeril, baclofen are some muscle relaxers that could help with cramping and sleep....it is important to get ur sleep to make it thru the physical part of wd...good luck to u..there r also supps etc that can help..read thru the health pages..there is also an article in my journal about rls..

Ive taken it for a little while now with no issues
i was on soma before i found out i was pregnant they had to switch me bc somas can cause problems.
Flexeril just makes you really sleepy!
It's a muscle relaxer which some people do abuse but not an awful lot. I have had back problems for a few years now and muscle relaxers really don't tend to help if you ask me. What seems to work the best is ibuprofen along with heat or cold. If you are in an intensive outpatient program I don't think I would mess with it unless you must. Are you easily addicted to most substances? I would first give the ibuprofen and a heating pad a try first and see what you think.
I personally don't think they're addictive I'm on two muscle relaxers and I like that because I don't make me drowsy and I also take Motrin 800 and I take Neurontin and which is the nerve medication like I said I don't think they're addictive but I would rather obviously take those then take a narcotic
t working. Been prescribed muscle relaxers, skeletal muscle relaxers, steroid dose paks, cortisone shot, nothing is helping. Even tried mixing advil/tylenol/ibuprofen together like they said and doesn't help. It's looking like I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what to do. It's a work comp claim so it's hard even getting appointments. Any recommendations as to who I might be able to see to get answers?
There are also a large variety of muscle relaxers. Soma is a muscle relaxer that is addictive for many people but something like Flexeril may work well for you. Also, Cymbalta has just been FDA approved to treat muscular-skeletal pain. It is a non-narcotic medicine in the family of anti-depressants. Trigger point injections by a physiatrist may be a great benefit to you as trigger points are the main cause of myofascial pain syndrome (aka severe muscular pain).
My doctor thought that these symptoms could be due to a pinched nerve in my neck. I was prescribed muscle relaxers to take at night along with an ibuprofen pack, and within a week or so these symptoms disappeared. All except for my temple pain. This pain has never really gone away, making me think that it was unrelated to those other symptoms. In fact, over about the past 3 weeks, this pain in my temple has become more intense. I can feel the vein in my temple bulging out and pulsating.
I'm having problems in my lower back on the left side. It's been giving me discomfit for the last 2 months or so. So here's the details:
*I don't feel it at rest, only in motion.
I assume you are seeing a doctor --- and if not, it is best to see one. Maybe muscle relaxers would be prescribed or an around the clock nosteriodal antiinflamatory such as ibuprofen. This helps with pain relief and swelling. You might try a chiropractor or physical therapy as well. There are stretches that I'd try to do. They do help overall
What I found to be of most benefit was massage.
