I have multiple herniated discs, Degenerative disc disease (DDD), and multiple bone spurs along with arthritis and osteoarthritis thru-out my spine. I have been taking narcotic pain meds for years. I have also done PT in yrs past with little improvement, although I do incorporate some of the more effective methods daily.

Severe dental or tooth pain with associated TMJ spasm. Extremely effective. Wish someone would do controlled study. Combine with ibuprophen to significantly improve tooth pain

This medicine definitely worked for me, however, I felt extremely nauseous, and it gave me headaches. They do NOT make me sleepy. I do not take the 750 mg. 4 times a day as prescribed because of the effects. I plan to go back to Flexeril even though it may take longer to cure my lower back pain.

Within 24 hours, this medication made me extremely nauseated. Reading some of the reports state that some folks received almost immediate relief(witnin a couple of hours). Not for me - I received absolutely NO relief from pain.

Had a possible bulging disk. Initially prescribed steroid dose-pack. Inflammation in back went down but pain didn't go away. Doc prescribed Robaxin. Didn't help any - pain still bad and now I'm nauseated. Stopped taking medication. The pain is preferable to the almost constant vomiting.

I am very sensitive to medications and do not take much. Had been using Tylenol for joint pain r/t Lupus/Fibromyalgia. Pain is very strong at night and I use this medication once daily at night to help with leg pain. It works fabulously and I am able to get rest.

Strained back during an awkward lift of a child. Two days of rest and easy activity coupled with ibuprofen did not help. Then took 7 doses of Robaxin 500 mg over two days which did not seem to effect any change. Immediate relief obtained through heat (hot water bottle) and rest. Discontinued Robaxin.

I had a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery 2 weeks ago. Taking robaxin 750 coupled with vicodine 3 times a day. I'm always uncomfortable, never a moment of relief, pain level always 1-2 and at times higher than a 6 with spasms.
