Skelaxin helps to relieve most of the musclepain, Ibuprofen for pain in general and Trazadone helps me sleep through.
Working / Worked
really helps with muscle pain
Working / Worked
I take this with the Lyrica and the Vicaden. this brings the pain from a 10 to a 5 which is half.
Working / Worked
works very well for MS pain. To make pain go from a 10 to a 4, try taking Skelaxin, Lyrica and Vicaden at once. This was recommended by my doctor but ask yours first. Its a hard cocktail of drugs, but it beats screaming in pain.
Working / Worked
Helps very much.
