Flexerol and Xanax........haha
Flexys...... :)
A heating pad helps also.
Flexiril makes me a zombie! Take 300-600mg of magnesium before bed.
Flexeril makes me feel like all the blood has been drained out of my body. I took it one time... never again.Quote:

I like Joint Flex and Zostrix HP but they are more for sore muscles and arthritis. A masseuse gave me a deep tissue massage (painful) and she rubbed I think Bio-Freeze on me after and it felt good. A no cost thing to try is a hot shower.
magnesium aspartate,oxide @ 400mg daily
also Doans Pills
I really like Ultram (Tramadol). It's a prescription med but not an opiate narcotic, so doctors are pretty cool about prescribing it.
A hotub and a Bushmills single malt (neat) work pretty well too.
Yeah it works for pain, but can be just as dangerous as opiates.Quote:
