Default back injury while operating heavy machinery

I am a mechanic in a company and am involved in pulling heavy machineries, and recently I have encountered a horrific back pain whilst I was engaged in carrying a heavy weight. The doctor has recommended Zanaflex, I want to know has anyone been I a similar situation, and will I be able to resort to my duty while persisting the dosage of the drug?

You, must be very cautious as one of the well known side effects of this drug Zanaflex is to cause dizziness and drowsiness, so understandably if you carry on your duty which involves pulling machines it can understandably call in more unexpected mishaps with you being in such a state. Such works would be best avoided whilst persisting on the drug Zanaflex.

Zanaflex is a basic muscle relaxer. It trys to relax the tense muscles you strained. I have DDD and (2) Back problems after I reckon' I coughed wrong! LOL Been on Zanaflex and well all medications react differantly on differant folks This one was a sleeper in my body. Basically it made me not think as clear as I would have liked and a nap was my best option.
I am 5 foot 9 inches tall and 140 a female. If I take a soma and spilt it in half it helps better than Zanaflex and no naptime wants.
