Jim takes 30 mgs three times a day with 30 mgs for break thru pain if needed. We also stretch him daily to keep the muscles loose. I use a massage cream called Spring Chicken that we get at our local garden. You can buy it online too. He also take Tizanidine 4mgs three times a day and valium, 5 mgs two times a day and 10mgs at night. It doesn't give total relief but it's better than nothing. He has extra valium for break thru pain as well. It sounds like a lot and is but Jim can't get up and walk so the meds have to be taken to avoid constriction. We tried other meds like sinemet and marinol but it was too hard on his tummy.
Hope you get relief soon.
