| Add Flexeril review Prescribed for muscle spasm. Used to get muscle spasms in my lower back when sitting up or laying down, at random times. Been taking for about 3 weeks now, and no more muscle spasms. Doesn't help with back pain, though. I have only taken this drug for 3 days. I take a great deal of medicine otherwise due to many health causes. I take for muscle spasms, does not knock me out & my spasms go away. Flexeril has been a life savor. I have a bunch of medical problems, and flexeril has helped so so much!! I would definantly recommend this drug to anyone that is prescribed it or is debating to take it!! | Add Mobic review After only 4 tabs I began to experience more swelling in the hands burning pain up my left arm, shoulder and across my chest. MY BP which runs in the 120's over high 60's shot up to 160's over 80's to 90's and persisted for several days after discontinuing usage. I have arthritis in my right knee due to a previous surgery. I am overweight and trying to lose, but while walking, the knee pain flailed up again. Dr prescribed to reduce pain and swelling. After a week, I started to itch all over, my tongue feels puffy and I'm going to the bathroom ALOT! I called my pharmacist and she told me to stop taking it cause I was having a really bad reaction! Plus, the ... seems to help with the pain , but makes me sick had to stop med My reaction to this medication: Red flushing of skin on face and chest after first dose. I was told to discontinue use. | |||
