I keep wheat packs in the freezer and put them on the small of my back for 20 minutes at a time. If that doesn’t work try using heat packs, put your wheat pack in the microwave for a minute. It helps muscle spasms.

A while back my doctor had me take an x-ray which of course did not yield any useful information.

I do have a prescription for baclofen, which does help to a point. Thankfully the baclofen doesn't make me drowsy, like my previous tx with methocarbamol did.

Anyone have such muscle stiffness and pain?

Any ideas as to what a cause could be?

Suggestions for better relief from the muscle stiffness and pain?
