A member asked:
How long should i stay on muscle relaxant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just a few days: Muscle relaxants can become addictive. For acute injury, they should be used for just a handful of days. Thereafter, their benefit diminishes, and they should be stopped. For certain neurological conditions long term use may be required, but should be done under close supervision with your physician.
