A member asked:
Your view on muscle relaxers for s1 sacrilization bertolotti syndrome? only at bedtime? or also when less active eg. sitting at home and not doing anything strenuous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most common muscle relaxers cause drowsiness but otherwise are useless. Might help you sleep however. Less activity is likely to result in stiffness and more pain. A physical therapy program will provide interventions to improve your function. A sacroiliac belt can relieve discomfort when you are active.
