Can one use flexor to make arthritis pain go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle relaxants: Muscle relaxants have no direct effect on joints and have no anti-inflammatory effects. Thus they do not alleviate pain caused by joint inflammation. They may provide some indirect relief by relaxing muscles surrounding joints but this joint pain relief is usually minimal. Anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen do relieve arthritic pain.
