I need to take something for back spasms

[[Fr...]]

I do have an issue--have always had since my mid-20's--wherein I experience severe back spasms. Yesterday I fell on some rock salt and so now my back is out and can be out for days if I don't relax it.  I have Skelaxin and have taken it on rare occasion before.  Why can't I take it now? What will happen three weeks post jump from Xanax?  Thanks, all.

 

P.S.:  Please don't recommend NSAIDs as I'm taking them to no help.

I have taken Skelaxin during w/d and had no issues. Does not effect gaba as far as I know. I still take it occasionally and never had a problem. Now Soma......that's a different story but I know you know that! Robaxin is another safe one for me.

Thanks, Betterdays.  I managed to get by without it and feel ok today.  But will keep it in mind. I don't often have back spasms, but it can happen.

Glad you are feeling better

Not sure if this will help you, but I rub Magnesium Oil on my lower back when it hurts and it helps greatly.   I cannot tolerate any type of muscle relaxants at this moment.

My husband has been using the IcyHot patches for his back spasms.  They make them in many sizes and can last up to 8 hours.  Maybe this will help.  I am sorry you are going through this..
