Just got home last night. Sorry not to have answered sooner. After writing before, I stopped the prednisone. The way it was dosed, was too complicated. 5 pills a day and having to eat before taking, and the puking the burning heartburn stuff was all I could stand. My PCP had prescribed Tizanidine (Generic for Zanaflex.) and the ER doctor said it was a good medicine for my foot cramps. Personally, I think they are in cahoots!! I started taking Magnesuyn 250 mg a while back for my foot and leg cramps and it has been excellent for stopping the cramps at night when I take it. So, after reading the side effects for the Tizanidine, I thought it would be stupid to take it for something and run the risk of having a BAD side effect if I am taking a supplement that has had no side effects and no cramps.
@kwright41175 I took Soma decades ago for an injury in a truck wreck and had good results. I've been thinking of asking for it. Unfortunately, I will be willing to bet they won't give me it or tramadol. I looked up tramadol previously and wasn't sold on it. Will try to check it out again. Soma might be good for me though to relax my strained muscles. Worker's Con wants me to have another go round with physical therapy at some off the wall place I am not willing to travel to.
If anyone thinks I have a bad attitude, you are correct! And I don't recon it's going away any time soon! Y'all take care!
