Muscle Relaxers?

[Cabot]

So I think we established that NSAIDs we’re no-gos, with Naproxen the least objectionable and codeine as a possibility for strong pain relief, and paracetamol/acetaminophen for regular pain relief.

How about muscle relaxants? Are there any that are safe with Afib?

Thanks so much!

Magnesium oil

My vote is topical Magnesium oil. Works for me and/or Arnica gel.

I thought muscle relaxants only worked on smooth muscle like the bowel. That's all I've ever been given them for and they didn't help at all.

I take Diazapam at night for occasional sciatica and find it both effective and AF safe.

Glad you have found something that works! Thank you for sharing.
