hello
I'd like to know if there are some people dealing with a similar situation. I suffer a trapecious pain since 20 years ago due to a severe muscle contraction. Im sick of trying different pills, doctors are very lost with my case.
I need some medication that could take for a long time. The only things that improve my state are: ibuprophen and Diazepam. But I think I can't take it every day.
I've tried some SSRI for many years, because doctors always relate chroinc pain to depression. The results are a little improvement but this not worth it because of the sideffects (loss of libido)
There is a very strong muscle contraction in my trapecious impossible to remove. After 20 years I've tried all therapies in the world with no success. Actually a massage worsens the pain. I need to relax the muscle
I was thinking to try TIANEPTINE, because I read that has a relaxation effect, but recently I found some reports about the tolerance and withdrawal effect. Also I have read that can cause constipation and hair loss :-(
The other medicine I have in mind is TRAMADOL But some reviews here in this forums are scary. It seems like you become a drug-addict....Is there anyone having Tramadol during a long time??
Maybe I should be more brave and have DIAZEPAM and ibuprophen every day.... but Im afraid about the tolerance and cognitive long-term effects
Nowadays Im having a crisis and Im desperated and depressed. The muscle inflammation make me feel dizzy and I dont feel like doing anything
All advices will be appreciated, here or by pm. Also if you had a bad experience with the medication I mentioned, l want to know.
