Hi thanks for the reply gave me diazepan as a muscle relaxant !! 3 x a day spent all day in even more of a fog ( not good ) . I am already on naproxen zapain . Gabapentin I feel like I am taking sweets not pain killers . I am also taking antidepressants due to family issues . Wishing you a good day . X
see a chiropractor.

healthunlocked.com/fibromya..., hello there and welcome, sorry to read of your pain , is this along side you having fibro as well, I would get back in your surgery even see a different doctor perhaps as you are suffering , the meds are not helping you by the sound of things, I can understand your tears so really feeling for you xx
I suppose they thought the Diazepam might work as it hopefully would relax the muscles but unfortunately in your case it just doesn't seem to have worked. I have found when I have that pain that freeze gel has helped a little, others have found heat helps. I also try to stretch the muscles myself by doing some exercises including stretches that were given me by an NHS physio. If this persists it might be worth asking for a referral. Acupuncture can also help in some cases. I do hope you find something that works. Quite a few people including myself find that Pregablin (Lyrica) helps more than Gabapentin. Often doctors prescribe Gbapentin as it is cheaper to prescribe. let us know how you are.x
Deep Tissue Massage helps me then physio exercises pain killers never touch it
