Question About Muscle Relaxers



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if it's safe to take a muscle relaxer? I've had Gastric Bypass and I'm close to being 8 months out from surgery. Is it an NSAID or something completely different or do I just have to stick with taking Tylenol for the rest of my life when Tylenol does absolutely nothing?

The reason I'm asking is because I have really bad chronic Migraines and sometimes I can't even do anything about them until I see my neurologist for a botox injection which is every three months. Sometimes I can make the appointment and when I can't, I have to wait an extra month on top of what I was already waiting and the pills I'm taking that I was prescribed kind of acts like the Tylenol now so... I don't know. Kind of running out of options with pills because every other pill I've tried for migraines failed and yeah, my neurologist knows.

The only thing I know that does work is the muscle relaxers but the last time I took one was before I had my surgery.... Only thing is that those things knock me out fast. If you know any Vitamins that help with migraines, I'm open to trying those too... I just only do gummies. I don't like chewables...

After my RNY gastric bypass surgery, my surgeon identified a list of Vitamins to take for the rest of my life. I was told to avoid gummy vitamins because they are not absorbed properly.

i take muscle relaxers when i have a lot of pain . i tend to sit a long time at work and the posture really affects the back/neck. i take ibuprofen. my dr said on occasion it is fine to take 2. depending on how bad a sneak a third. im still abig girl so its more effective. tylenol arthritis is another good one it is much stronger than the extra strength. all permissive buy my dr.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
