Suggest Treatment For Constant Pain And Spasms In Back After Injury
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
Yes, I recently injured my back at work. I've been put on flexeral, then skelxin, and then Valium for a muscle relaxer. They also gave me 7.5 mg hydrocodone/ 650 acitaminephan. The Valium works better than the others but I'm still having a hard time controling the constant pain, and the sharp spasm pains. The pain it just too much and it's affecting my everyday life and job.

Dear patient
You have injured your back and only medication cannot help, rest is also required. Since back injury can vary from minor sprain to fracture u out should be investigated with Xray of involved spine region anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out fracture. If it's normal sprain is diagnosis. For complete relief you have to take rest for 3 days at least and apply cold compress on affected area. Take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day along with tab ultracet one at bedtime for 7 days. You will be fine in a week. All the best.
