I was dealing with a stiff neck with chiro message treatment 2 x week for 3 months. then the muscle spasm sent the pain to 8/10 and could not sleep. Dr gave me methocarbamol 500mg tramadol 50mg Ibprofen 400 mg 4 x daily. after 7 doses the spasm is gone and the pain down to 1/2. i am stopping the tramodol and will continue the others and see what happens. experienced light headedness drowsiness constipation and irregular sleep waking every hour. I am very happy to be out of pain and pray that the muscle will finally heal. i hope to go back to work in a couple of days and able to drive.
