i had kidney failure and have to be careful what meds i take .they do blood work all the time to make sure my meds don't affect my kidneys .flexeril didn't hurt me while i was on it .i'm now on soma and now i have to have a blood test to check my liver cause i have liver problems .i'm in a rock and a hard place with meds ,due to kidney and liver problems ! good luck and hope you get some much needed relief !
This is not for me but for a friend. I am just wondering if anyone knows if there are any negative side effects of taking so much strong opiates with all the other medications as well?
You are ok to take it. I took it for almost 6 months for the same problem. I take the same immuno drugs and it never affected me. Of course, I did ask my Transplant team before I even started it and they agreed that it would not cause any problems with my transplanted kidney, nor any side effects other than what the flexeril itself causes.
before taking any more drugs that you are unsure of, how about going to a physio therapist and ask about "taping" to releive some of the pain its new, look into sports medicen
Can't you ask your doctor that question? I am not a physician. But, I would first and foremost ask your doc..Kim
