,

What were you given to replace it? Before my dx, when we thought it

was " just muscle spasms " , I had naproxen (can no longer take it because

of the coumadin and also the kidney affect) for the inflammation (which

worked pretty good for the most part), robaxin for the muscle spasms

(upgraded from flexeril when I told my doc I was taking them 2 at a

time to find relief) and darvocet when it got " really bad " . Right now,

because of the excessive swelling, nothing is really working at all. I

think I'm taking too much stuff trying to get it to stop hurting. In

the end, all I end up doing is sleeping the day away, which isn't fair

to me or my family.
