Any suggestions about muscle pull?

[Guest guest]

we really have to be careful about stretching and so forth. I know I have

problems with foot and toe cramps if I stretch and the " charelyhorse " can do on

for hours and hours. I have keterolac (10mg) in my cabinet and valium 5mg in

my cabinet for seizures and cramps.

Hope this resolves quickly for you! Vivian

Hello :-)

I pulled a muscle today and would like to ask whether there is

something I should be doing/not doing, to speed up healing. I was

amazed that I am having a real problem with it. I was sitting up in

bed and just yawned and raised my arms over my head to stretch a

little and afterward I thought I was having a cramp in that muscle in

my back around the rib cage going down into my waist and that it would

be fine in a few minutes. But it got worse and after a half hour, I

was in pain with any movement. Now I can barely get comfortable or

move around without pain.

I thought I remembered someone telling me not to use too much ice or

for too long, when you have mito muscles. I am not looking forward to

sleeping tonight. I have to change positions a lot while I am

sleeping and I can only imagine how that is going to go. I may have

to go to my primary care doc tomorrow, but what is he going to be able

to do? He is not experienced with mito.

Is this just a case of doing what any other person would do for a

pulled muscle or not?

Thanks very much

Well, I called my primary care and he suggested valium and resting for

a couple of days. Not moving at all is more like it. [g] That was my

next question..is it ok for mito to take valium? I haven't taken it

before. I thought it was addictive or something like that?

Thanks for your input.. :-)
