I am using this med for shoulder pain (pinched nerve) and (disc desease. The best thing to come out of this is I have a heart condition that at times feels as if my heart would beat out of my chest. This stops it form happening within minutes. I will inform my cardiologist of this finding

I have chronic neck and arm pain from nerve damage,my shoulder muscles are always tense too, this drug along with my vicotin work so well. I have tried so many other combinations but this works best for me.

This medication doesn't cause sluggishness or drowsiness but, it does eases my back pain. It doesn't cause GI upset or nausea like Tramodol or Vicidin (mild narcotics). I take this drug when it's absolutely necessary, such as severe discomfort or back pain.

It definately works for Back Spasms. But it makes me very sick to the stomach weather I eat or don't eat.

I have been taking this for over a year now. I take 750mg 3 times a day for muscle spasm/right shoulder pain. I had surgery back in 2003 after ripping out my shoulder..it helps somewhat but over time your system gets used to it and it no longer works as well as it once did. At night I take one with Loratab 5/500 that helps so I dont wake up stiff & sore. Works well with mild pain med's but alone it's not as effective.

Prescribed for a lumbar sprain (after a fall). It was somewhat helpful, but I had a red, itchy rash on my legs after a few days. (I am not allergic to anything!) Stopped using and the rash disappeared.

I have used rabaxin (generic term) for probably ten years. I do not have to take it as often, but it works great for muscle spasms and general tightening of my muscles, ligaments, tendons,etc. The only problem I have had is stomach pain if I do not take it with milk. However, I would recommend rabaxin for anyone who suffers from any source of pain. It also makes it possible for me to use less pain medication for my chronic pain.
