Muscle Relaxers

[johnniejr243]

Ok, so I have researched this and keep coming up with different answers.

I have a neck injury and the Doc. wants me to take muscle relaxers. (yes it is a permanent injury 2 herniated disc ) I am afraid if I do it will impair my muscle growth after a work out. So basically does anyone know if taking muscle relaxers prevent muscle growth?

And for anyone that says i should stop working out, I will not!! I have goals and admiration's and I will achieve them!
And the only relief i get for my neck is when i work out.

Dude Im about to finish up a bottle of flexaril's. I pulled a muscle in my back and my doc gave me naproxen and the flex's. I don't think they hinder your gains. Let's face it there are far worse things that we do to hinder gains.

Not only that, but they are a bit of fun as well. I can usually handle any meds, but flexaril knocks me on my ass!

as far as i know the reearch does not indicate impaired muscle growth with MR's like Flex. or baclofen. I think your gtg i just wouldn't take flexaril then try to lift esp heavy lol but you already know that just stating the obvious

I could take 3 flex's and not feel shit. I'm super sensitive to benzo's though. Not sure what's up with that.
