What non-medical things causes muscle pain?

I was just wondering , because I am a teenager, and i have very tender arm muscles, i do work out, but in moderation, and i have been for a long time, but this pain is new. I do go 4-wheeling often , and now that it is winter the ground is solid and it is alot more bumpy. Since it is bumby the handle bars vibrate and bounce alot more, could this be the cause?

Chosen Answer:

I think that is what is kicking your problem up a notch for you, those vibrations can be hell. Here is how you can release the muscles in your back which should help in the upper area for there might be some trapped there that you don’t know about yet:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
For your arms below the shoulder press on the muscles that are tender with a good amount of pressure and hold. Now relax your arm and body, let everything go so your arm is very relaxed for this. After 30 seconds slowly raise your arm as high as you can, release the pressure but hold your arm there for another 30 seconds.

and long term? He is currently taking Carisoprodol 350mg, Hydrocodone 10mg/500mg, Lyrica 75mg, Trazodone 100mg, Ambien CR 12.5mg, Oxycodon, and Ropinirole 1mg. He takes these every day and has takes some of them multiple times a day. He has back issues and gets shots in his back every 6 months for it but, I am just wondering if there are side effects of taking all of these at once and if you are supposed to take these medicines for long periods of time because my father has been taking these for over a year now. Thank you.

It is the same doctor that has prescribed him all of these medications at once.

Take this list and ask your local phamacist. They are the experts on drug interactions and should be aware of all the drugs someone is on when filling perscriptions.

LIFE THREATENING PLEASE HELP?

Me and a very close friend of mine are both very addicted to drugs and we will try anything at least once. This time we each too two 350mg Carisoprodol (muscle relaxant) im doing fine but my friend feels really bad he described how he feels and its nothing compaired to me and the only allergy he has is SEACLOR (sorry for misspelling) but to my knowing carisoprodol doesn’t contain seaclor. I was wondering if anyone knew if it does contain seaclor.

Chosen Answer:

No, Soma doesn’t contain Seaclor(?). It’s a prescription muscle relaxant that very few people are allergic to. It practically changes into a sedative once it is metabolized by the liver. It can cause a “fuzzy feeling” and tingling around the mouth as well as drowsiness and sedation.

The usual dosage is one 350 mg tablet. You say you took two each. You didn’t say how old you are or how much you weigh, but two tablets of Soma could cause an unpleasant feeling in some people.

If your friend is awake and breathing between 16-20 times/min. without difficulty or airway problems then just let him sleep it off. Don’t leave him alone though. If he gets in respiratory distress, call 911–and stop taking things you know nothing about.

question about pills and overdose?

March 24, 2012 Carisoprodol

im curious of what would happen if a person took all of these at once, a xanax bar, a naproxen, a hydrocodone, carisoprodol 350 mg, and a Tizanidine 4 mg. i’m not sure what any of these pills do to you and im really not sure what taking them all at once will do, but i found them all together in a little bag in my brothers room and im wondering what would happen if he took them all?

Chosen Answer:

Yes they are harmful.
I doubt he would die from taking all of them, but i suggest just flushing it down the toilet.

Muscle pain?

March 20, 2012 Muscie Pain Q&A

Yesterday I pulled the muscles in my arm. Today I hurt them even more carrying my textbooks around school. I was just wondering does any one have any remedies or ways I could ease the pain? Thanks

Chosen Answer:

Same thing happened to me in my shoulder muscle this week. I cant even sleep for more then a few hours because it hurts so bad to put any pressure on it. I got some asprin cream that relieves muscles. If you massage some of that on(but not too much or else it burns) then it works really well. I also take advil and sleep with a heat pack on my arm. It really helps it. I’ve been continuing with this for 4 days and the pain is pretty much gone today. I would make sure that you dont carry text books on that arm and make a bunch of trips to your locker instead. the only way to really help the muscle is just dont make it worse and the muscle tissue will heal itself. Good Luck, I understand your pain

Does MEPS test for SOMA/carisoprodol?

February 15, 2012 Carisoprodol

I’m going to MEPS in a couple of days and was wondering if they tested for SOMA. My recruiter told me that they didn’t even test for benzos so I’m not sure. Anyone with some input I would appreciate it. I took a couple of Somas for my hamstrings….I pulled one running to get in shape and get my weight down. They weren’t prescribed to me so I’m a little worrited about it. I don’t do any other drugs and am clean across the board besides SOMA. Is this going to disqualify me?

Chosen Answer:

if it is a perscription drug and you have a valid perscription and they find it in your pee you will be granted a waiver for the positive test, and no negative actions will result. they’ll give you another drug test before you go off to basic anyway.

carisoprodol for pain?

i was in a motorcycle crash not a bad one but im super sore and awhile back my doctor gave me carisoprodol 350mg for some back pain. i was wondering if it be good to take it just stick with excedrin.

Chosen Answer:

Probably. Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant. If you are not having problems with muscle spasms, etc., you could probably do without it.
Soma, the brand name of your medicine is good for certain muscle pain related issues, but I have a feeling it won’t do much for you in your case, hence bruising, and muscle soreness (not spasms).

Doctors are afraid to offer narcotic pain medicines, because of the very high risk of addiction. I suggest you work with Ibuprofen (Naproxin etc.) or other OTC pain medicine, and as long as you can tolerate the pain, and you are getting good rest, you will be fine..

When traveling to europe, are their any special procedures I need to go through to bring my medication?

I am touring the european union this summer from the USA. I plan on bringing some doctor prescribed medication and was wondering if their was any special procedure for being able to legally carry it while abroad? As of now I plan on bring lorazepam (ativan), zolpidem (ambien), and carisoprodol (soma). Are all of these legal to possess in Europe?

Chosen Answer:

Yes, all of them are legal in Europe. Just declare them when going through customs, to be on the safe side, but other than that, you should be fine.
