Muscle relaxer?

[AlanaRN 419]

I was wondering if anyone has taken a muscle relaxer medication after surgery. Any problems with that? I had them from before surgery so I haven't asked my surgeon yet. I'm having horrible back pain lately. Probably from being on my feet for 12 hours at work. There is no ibuprofen in them but I'm still worried. Any insight?

To be on the safe side...I'd definitely call my surgeon or my bariatric nurse for clarification on meds. It's a weekday, so shouldn't take long to get a response.

I was just prescribed a muscle relaxer by my surgeon for some muscle pain I am having.

I have used them. It was about 4 weeks after surgery. They were a lot more gentle on my stomach, than taking anything else. But, do get your doctor's opinion on it.

I had to take some three weeks out and I was okay. Ask your doctor, you will probably be able to get the relief you need!

I'm going to call them today. Work has been killing me lately and I'm so sore that I'm not sleeping well at night.

My pack was starting to hurt 4 days out. My surgeon allowed me to.
