<human>: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...Yes, I recently injured my back at work. Ive been put on flexeral, then skelxin, and then Valium for a muscle relaxer. They also gave me 7.5 mg hydrocodone/ 650 acitaminephan. The Valium works better than the others but Im still having a hard time controling the constant pain, and the sharp spasm pains. The pain it just too much and its affecting my everyday life and job.
<bot>: Dear patient You have injured your back and only medication cannot help, rest is also required.  Since back injury can vary from minor sprain to fracture u out should be investigated with X-ray of involved spine region anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out fracture.  If its normal sprain is diagnosis.  For complete relief you have to take rest for 3 days at least and apply cold compress on affected area. Take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day along with tab attract one at bedtime for 7 days. You will be fine in a week. All the best.
