Im having lots of pain in my lower back and hips which is now spreading to my abdomen and affecting my ability to urinate. My husband thinks i should ask my doctor for muscle relxants but ive taken baclofen before and it didnt work. Just wondering if anyone is taking them and the name of the relaxant

I told my doctor that about Tizandidine and he told me to take 1/2 in the morning and a whole one after dinner. That seems to work a lot better for me. Maybe this would help you! Soft hugs!

I use flexiril as needed. It helps him. But not a whole lot.

That's what I use tizanidine is very helpful. I take it 3 times a day with a tremadol together when having a bad day just a little quicker action. I take bacolfen every nite before I go to bed
