Question 4

do muscle relaxers thin your blood?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: "muscle relaxants" actually don't act directly on muscle. They are basically sedatives that act on your brain, and come in many different unrelated medicinal forms. So if you are suspicious of one specific medication, i'd suggest first asking your pharmacist.

Question 5

do muscle relaxers work for a curved spine?

Helpful: Deserves a try  if muscle spasms interfere with work or sleep.  I like non-sedating skelaxin (metaxalone) 800 mg or orphedrine la100 mg for aa woman your age.

Question 6

can they make muscle relaxers in liquid form for tmj?

Accepted Answer

Valium: Diazepam or valium is a sedative and a muscle relaxer that can be taken in liquid form. It is used in cases of TMJ problems but limited to short term.  It is addictive.  Other muscle relaxers would have to be crushed and placed in liquid to make it easier for you take.

Question 7

do muscle relaxers or pain killers cause hot cold flashes?

Accepted Answer

They can: These medications have several side effects.  If taking these medications are new to you and you did not have these symptoms prior to starting them, then it is likely that they are side effects.  The question is which medication is causing them.  The only way to know is to consider stopping one of them at a time to see if the side effects improve.  Discuss with your doc.

Question 8

can prescription muscle relaxers be taken on a daily basis?

Accepted Answer

Muscle relaxers: Muscle relaxers may be taken every day, but they can be addictive if used too often, so take them only as prescribed and needed.

Question 9

do muscle relaxers help with a injured sternocleidomastoid?

Accepted Answer

Maybe a little: Muscle injuries generally respond well to ice, rest, stretching, and time.  Medications like nsaids (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc...) can help decrease inflammation in and around the muscle.  Muscle relaxers can sometimes be helpful, but have the undesirable side effects of drowsiness and sometimes disorientation.  Consult with your physician to decide what combination of treatments is best for you.

Question 10

can muscle relaxers cause redness and itchiness? could i be allergic to them?

Accepted Answer

Drug rash: Almost any medication can cause a rash and some muscle relaxers have an increased incidence of causing rashes. The rash will take about 10 days to appear with the initial exposure but can appear immediately after subsequent exposures. Also, after 1 year of constant use without a problem, it is very rare to develop a rash.
