Question 1

neck feels tight on one side like i need to pop it..was prescribed naproxin and generic norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen)...would a muscle relaxer and work better?

Probably not: Muscle relaxers are kind of hit or miss in how they work.  You can certainly try it but I would be more inclined to see a chiropractor instead.

Question 2

is motrin a muscle relaxer?

Accepted Answer

No: It may relieve the discomfort of a strained or otherwise sore muscle.

Question 3

is  meloxicam a muscle relaxer?

Accepted Answer

Non -Steroidal: Meloxicam (Mobic) is a prescription strength non steroidal anti inflammatory medicine. Specifically inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGAs) by blocking COX-1 &amp;2 enzyme. Technically not  in the muscle relaxer family. However it may indirectly cause relief of muscle cramps/ spasms by inhibiting the PGAs responsible for muscle cramps etc. DO NOT use this product more than 10 days -2 weeks.

Question 4

can a muscle relaxer help with crps pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes perhaps.: Most pain from crps is nerve pain predominantly although a component of pain from muscle spasms may be present also. In this regard therefore, muscle relaxant use could potentially be of some help. The main thrust of treatment in crps however is aimed at the nerve pain,  this being the most pain the patients suffer from.

Question 5

Yes if... : If your muscle relaxer was prescribed by your doctor who knew you were pregnant and felt that it was needed than it is okay for use.

Accepted Answer

Concurrent med use: yes. one warning though is that the latter could change your chemical balance, such as making your potassium lower than otherwise. subsequently your muscle relaxant may not work as effectively as it should. check chemistry as advised by your physician

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most muscle relaxers are fine with trazodone, but it really depends on which muscle relaxer you are taking.

Question 9
