For Muscle Spasm: I broke my neck and injured my back about 17 years ago! My primary care really didn’t do anything. Finally I saw an orthopedic specialist found that I broke my back and my neck I have been paralyzed for over a year . From my neck to my toes, I had been on opiates Norco to OxyContin and Oxsee fast 80 mg tablets four times a day and soma and a whole bunch of other medications. Then I found a neurosurgeon and a orthopedic surgeon and they did surgery on my neck I learn to walk again but still had severe pain. To this day I deal with severe pain and muscle spasm is horribly painful ! I went to a detox hospital and got off soma , oxie and norco! They gave me morphine ! ? Any way methacarbamol helps, but when I have really bad spasms not so helpful !
