Hello,
Although you are looking for the best treatment, they mostly have the same effect. Robaxin is a muscle relaxant. The effectiveness will depend on the patient's body response.
The best thing to do in case of arthritis is to:
- avoid those things that would trigger the inflammation where foods and drinks we consume play the most important part
- physiotherapy is an excellent choice.
So, discuss these 2 alternatives with your caring doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
