What Causes Leg Muscle Spasms With Chronic Body Pain?
Hi... I have been having extreme muscle spasms in my left shoulder, my lower back and all the way sown my rt. leg... I unfortunately don t have a primary care Dr. as of yet!! I have chronic pain all over my body from fibromyalgia, and lupus!! Would Soma help with some of that pain?? If so, can I buy it online?? Respectfully Kelly L.
hello kelly There is a need for check up with a rheumatologist for confirmation of diagnosis before begining specific treatment.Fibromyalgia is treated with pregabelins and amytryptaline and tramadol.Lupus also should be confirmed first and has to be treated with cortisones.All these drugs have to be monitored with follow ups and therefore, there can be no short cuts.Periodical tests are also required.Soma or carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant that cuts neurogenic pain perception and relaxes muscle, may be tried if your doctor agrees, but specificaly, pregabelins or lyrica are preferred by fibromyalgia specialists best wishes
