Muscle spasm: Valium is a good muscle relaxant and you may want to add local heat and OTC Advil or Aleve (naproxen) for pain and inflammation.

See pain management: specialist for evaluation, tests and imaging. The proper diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. The long-term use of Valium is usually contraindicated because of the potential for dependence and addiction. Take care.
