Re: I can't take this pain anymore.... , booze Doesn't Help

[Guest guest]

Please Dear, DO NOT Drink. It doesn't help anyone long term- short term it

could soften

up the muscles a little bit. But over time alcohol will only complicate your

condition. Also

you identify yourself as a recovering alcoholic. From that perspective, running

back to your

'old best friend' could put your life and family life at terible risk. A good

muscle relaxant

could help you a lot. Many docs are reluctant to give pain meds for pain they

cannot see.

Go to your doc and ask for a muscle relaxant for the muscle spasms and tight

muscles you

are having- that is why it hurts to hit the brake when you are driving. A good

muscle

relaxant to start with is Flexoril (Cyclobenzeprine), you can ask the doc

specificaly for that

if you feel comfortable- 1 tab 2x a day. There are stronger muscle relaxants

and your doc

may suggest one of those.

Peace
