Hello all,
Long time no post - I am doing extremely well on the NSD, but need some help with a drug I have been prescribed. I have a problem in my upper back related to an old rugby injury which has been exacerbated by holding my new baby. I don't think it is AS related directly at least. I have been presrcibed tiocolquicosido (Adalgur N) as it is called in Portugal, which is meant to be a muscle relaxant. Any thoughts on taking this, in particular with regard to diet compliancy?
Many thanks,
Charlie

Hi, Charlie:
Good to see you back again.
If it passes the iodine test, it should be safe. Additionally, most muscle relaxers do not have the mucosa-destroying properties of NSAIDs. If one ingredient is a salicylate component or something similar, there should be some reservation, but otherwise it is probably safe.
Good luck with the baby and all. Have you been to a chiropractor or osteopath about the upper back? I had a very bad problem (trick diaphragm trigger) a guy fixed in about four visits.
Best Regards,
John

Charlie, great to hear from you again. I took muscle relaxant one time when I got myself in a pickle with my gall bladder, and they worked great. Still had to have my gall bladder removed, but they did help with the spsm pain. George
