When I was first diagnosed I was put on nothing for the TOS. I then had a doctor prescribe skelaxin but that was a total waste of money. They didn't work at all. My pain management doctor said to be careful of these muscle relaxers... some of them are basically just seditives... skelaxin being one of them. With TOS... I think it's hard to find medications that really work. You have to do quite a bit of experimenting to find what works.

Right before my surgery my pain management doctor put me on baclofen and I have to say that did work. I had also tried Zanaflex and that did work as well but I was allergic to it. You have to ask lots of questions and don't let the doctor just say here take this. That happened to me. I do a lot of research before taking medications and ask lots of questions. I also take my husband along now to my appointments and he asks more than I do.

It's a very frustrating process.
