I just came across a video the other day while looking for fibromyalgia information.

The chiropractor was saying , or his theory, was that for many of the muscular/skeletal problems and related conditions people will have some sort of muscle relaxer rx'd but no one looks deeper into why the mus/skel problems developed in the first place or the cause of the pain/sx.

His theory was that the muscle relaxers make the problem worse.
by loosening up the muscles too much and allowing the joints and ligaments too much freeplay and that equals more damage and no healing.


It just made me wonder if, what if half of those on muscle relaxers really are making themselves more prone to additional or chronic injuries, instead of the meds helping them to heal.


I'll have to re find that vid it did give me something to think about.

update-
well I haven't found it yet.. many other DC's with vids about FM is a brain disorder and not a muscle problem... the vid I saw was different from these others that I'm seeing today - these are practically the same script..ppfftt.
