Hi Phillipa,
It is a difficult thing to treat for a number of reasons. Muscles have “memory” and are very reactionary. So, if there is something that causes tensing – in my cause arthritis and anxiety – it’s difficult to override that.
Treating anxiety issues helps for me, but when it’s really a nasty problem, treating the pain with OTC products like Advil, Tylenol, etc. (as long as there’s no contraindication) helps. Of the muscle relaxants I’ve tried, I like Skelaxin the best. It doesn’t make me drowsy and while it can give me a headache at times, I find if I hydrate enough the H/A is lessen or will go away.
It’s a pesky problem and a lot of folks struggle with it.
