My sister is struggling with stiff muscles. They are all basically very stiff. But, her neck and shoulders are the worst. The muscles in her neck are solid. They literally feel like rocks when you touch them. I have been massaging her muscles at least every other day, sometimes daily for over a month now. I have also encouraged her to start doing some exercises for her neck. Every day she does the cat/cow yoga pose (arching and hunching back/spine) (it is apparently one of the best exercises you can do for bulging discs and she has a few bulging discs in her spine), puppy pose(core strengthener and spine/shoulder stretcher), and child's pose(spine/shoulder stretcher). But, none of this seems to be helping. And, her muscles are just getting tenser. Now she says the muscles around her ribs below her armpits are getting tight and it's getting difficult for her to breath.
She also goes walking once a day for 45 minutes to an hour, and I try to keep her moving throughout the day but it can be hard because of the pain she is in.
I'm also now putting celadrin on her muscles daily. But, I have only been doing that for a few days, so I can't say whether that's helping or not yet.
Does anyone have any advice for stiff muscles? Has anyone tried taking baclofen for stiff muscles?
My sister was prescribed 28 days worth of it months ago but refused to take it after discovering that it is extremely addictive and hard to stop taking once you are on it. But, I am beginning to wonder if she should just take it anyway.
