muscle relaxers

 Does anyone take muscle relaxers for back spasms since having weight loss surgery?  I have some but never asked the surgeon if it was ok, I am allowed to take Xanax and Ativan, so I wouldn't see that it would be much different.

I had the sleeve so Im not sure if it would be the same but I take them because I get tension headaches and cant take Ibuprofen yet.  No problems here! But Id check with your Doc just to make sure!

Good luck!

 Thank you, Katie!! Good luck to you also!!

I take a high dosage of Zanaflex, a muscle relaxer, every day, 3 times a day. I have severe spinal osteoarthritis, a number of other back issues, and fibromyalgia. The fibro causes muscle pain, some days so severe, it's hard to even grasp a cup, and all that on top of all the back issues. 
I had Rny in March and have been taking them since a month post-op. I am seen and monitored by a pain management specialist and my PCP, which are both fully aware and have experience with WLS patients.
I have developed no problems or had any adverse side effects, so far, so i would say, if it helps with your pain, makes your life easier, and you more able to function normally......go for it! 

 Thank you so much, Anni, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post and I think I will try one tonight, I start back to work tomorrow after being off for 5 weeks so I need to get plenty of sleep. Thanks again, all the good luck to you!!
