FLEXERIL is indicated as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy for relief of muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions.
Improvement is manifested by relief of muscle spasm and its associated signs and symptoms, namely, pain, tenderness, limitation of motion, and restriction in activities of daily living.
FLEXERIL should be used only for short periods (up to two or three weeks) because adequate evidence of effectiveness for more prolonged use is not available and because muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions is generally of short duration and specific therapy for longer periods is seldom warranted.
How did this happen? How did you injure your neck? Are you sure it's an injury related problem? According to what I'm reading about this drug, it should work to alleviate the pain. But you're supposed to be resting as well. Your in my prayers, dear one. Keep us posted. M.
I can't turn it left or right and I cannot lay down to sleep and it hurts when I swallow and the back of my nose is drying out because I am breathing through my nose because I'm clenching my teeth 24/7. 'SIGH' I talked to my doc and she prescribed me Cyclobenzaprine which is generic for Flexeril never ever heard of it before. Supposed to be a muscle relaxer but it didn't TOUCH the pain AT ALL. I was in exruciating pain all night long. I'm sooooo tired. I called today and she told me I didn't give the medicine enough time to work!!! which was WEIRD! Because I thought muscle relaxers were supposed to work right away hence to kill the pain! I took them again today and NOTHING! I was just soooo tired. It was like taking a sleeping pill. Still TONS of pain. it seriously didn't touch it. I took some acetominophen and can already tell a difference. this medicine is terrible. I asked her if i could see the doc and she told me that she cant today only tomorrow she wants me to keep trying the medicine. In other words, i have to suffer all night long before she will see me to use me as a darned guinea pig on this new crap she gave me which DOESNT work. grrr... i go in 10:30 in the morning. great. more money to dish out that i dont have. PLUS my insurance is messing with me and not covering doc appts and is all screwed up there. grr....im about to take another muscle relaxer. (to quote "give it time to work".) still think thats WEIRD. usually that stuff is supposed to work right away to ease your pain quickly. weird weird weird. my neck is still spasming. ok ok... enough moaning and groaning. Just keep me in your prayers!!!! ((hugs!))
