In 2012 I had treated with interferon and ribavirin (and victrelis)for hepatitis C, stopped treatment due to optic nerve damage in one eye.
Afterward, I started having muscle stiffness and pain, mainly in my back. I exercise daily, suppliments I take include magnesium citrate, and niacinamide. 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? |

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.

One device I had forgotten about until this morning: 2 tennis balls in a sock I have an identical device sitting in my sock drawer, I pulled it out and set where I won't forget to use it...does work so well.
