Pulled my back doing cable rows. Taking flexeril and tylenol. Need something stronger to sleep. Doc wont prescribe anything else. Anything better out there? how long should this last me??
Joined since I cant sleep and really need the HELP!
 
have you tried using the tylenol PM or even just taking the antihistamine itself benedryl? that i believe IS what is in the ty PM that helps you to fall asleep. just something i did years ago when i could not seem to be able to just fall asleep(the benedryl). if this is from the pain, you could try replacing or interspersing an NSAID like just aleeve or advil with or without even using the tylenol at all? it just may work better on the pain caused by the inflammation? one really helpful thing that i just have to do becasue of high spasticity in my legs from spinal cord injury is take a bath in epsom salts before bed? epsom contains just pure granulated magnesium, natures own little muscle relaxer. this just gets absorbed thru and into your skin and actually acts much more directly upon the muscle at that level too so it does help not only with lessening pain/spasms but it relaxes your whole body as well allowing you a better chance at sleep. these are just some things that help me. heat is always a good thing too. i do hope you can find something to help. please let me know how you are doing, marcia
