Have Chronic Pain Due To Accident. Have Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant. Taking Zanaflex And Lortab

I have Chronic Pain/RSD for the last 14 years due to an accident to my right hand. It then went up my arm and into my neck. I had a Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant (Cervical) since 2004 which they recently had to take out due to the lead exposing thru my neck. anyway, I am trying different methods with my pain meds and right now on Zanaflex and Lortab which tends to keep me awake. Can I do Zanaflex (4mg 2x) with Perocet? I was taking Perocet with Flexiril after my surgery.

Hi
You can replace zanaflex and lortab with perocet and flexiril. It is almost same.
zanaflex and flexiril are muscle relaxants which relieves pain due to muscle spasm.
lortab and perocet are combination of paracetamol and opiod analgesics.
hope this may help
thanks
