Hi Moreta,

I've read through your previous posts. What, exactly, is the problem (dx) in your back? Have you had any physical therapy? Myofascial triggerpoint therapy? TENS? Other?

Skelaxin isn't the strongest muscle relaxer, nor is it the mildest, but that may not be relevant. Since people respond differently to meds, a mild relaxer can affect some people as much as a strong one can affect others and vice versa. Also, Skelaxin works best when taken with food.

If you have a problem with narcotics, be aware that muscle relaxers can become addictive as well, and can have similar tolerance issues.

Doc
