Last year around June of 2005, I went to see a doctor for it and he prescribed Flexeril (if you any idea what it is, it basically just puts you to sleep) and told me to not work for two weeks. After that the pain still came back. I work at a textile mill in the packaging department as a material handler, constantly lifting boxes from 5-125 pounds every moment. There's not much I can do about that, because at 17 who else is going to pay $14? I've used over the counter muscle rubs and pain relieving creams. I find that Blue Goo is working best over ulta strength Bengay... but if I go back to the doctor, he'll just give me more flexeril and put me out of work for a few weeks. Any other suggestions??
It's right at my waistline in the back, I know the muscles are constantly being strained by all the bending over. Are there any pain killers that would work effectively? Or another muscle relieving cream that I should use?
