it hasn't gotten worse and even 4 advil doesn't work but they would only give me

Savella (only on 25mg, but can go to 50mg but have horrid heat flashes on top

it) and that is it.

I am not a Doctor but I take Benadryl. Benadryl used to be used to relax deep

muscle pain also so this might help.

Why is this medication prescribed?

Diphenhydramine is used to relieve red, irritated, itchy, watery eyes; sneezing;

and runny nose caused by hay fever, allergies, or the common cold.

Diphenhydramine is also used to relieve cough caused by minor throat or airway

irritation. Diphenhydramine is also used to prevent and treat motion sickness,

and to treat insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep).

Diphenhydramine is also used to control abnormal movements in people who have

early stage parkinsonian syndrome (a disorder of the nervous system that causes

difficulties with movement, muscle control, and balance) or who are experiencing

movement problems as a side effect of a medication.

In the Survival Guide for Intractable Pain Patients by Dr Forest Tennant, he

addresses a multi modal approach for situations that you talk about and

medications and other assistance to reduce pain.

Hope this helps a little. Bennie

I take benadryl for my allergies.

I did not know that you could take it for back pain as well and I will look that

title up too.

Thank you Bennie for the advice.

Wish me luck on Thursday afternoon at 1.30pm cst

My animals are not my whole life, but my life would not be whole without

them.

It is not really for back pain but it has known to relax deep muscles and can

make you sleepy to relax you and you muscles.

It is just something I take if needed for sleep, nausea, or allergies.

Many years ago, Doctors prescribed it for sleep and nausea for patients so it

has been around for years but is not a pain pill.

Just wanted you to know it is not pain pill, and my animals are very important

in my life and I do animal rescue for my

my purpose in life . Good Luck on appointment. Bennie
