For Muscle Spasm "I have suffered from many ailments in the past few years, one of which was sliding on black ice while working, hitting my neck and back on a metal step to my bucket truck. The muscle spasms I get are just awful...muscles twisting and foot looks deformed when it happens. Soma is the only medication that gives any kind of relief. I take it sparingly as not to become dependent upon it. It does make you drowsy, but I would rather be somewhat drowsy than be in that horrible pain."

For Muscle Spasm "I suffered major injuries in a motorcycle wreck. Was in and out of a coma for 6 months. Doctor was able to save my leg, took a year before I could walk again. The muscle spasms were nonstop, as well as the pain. Went through 10 years of testing before I was placed on a drug treatment program that actually worked, felt like a lab rat. Have been on Soma and Tylenol/Acetaminophen for now 30 years. It keeps my pain and muscle spasms at a level I can tolerate and take care of myself."
