Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello I have a bad lower back and artheritis I have tried several muscle pills and still have a lot of pain my Dr gives me numbing shots every 3 months and a pain med but I need a good artheritis med for my hands and back, what is new or is better than robaxin
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,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
General & Family Physician
