Brief Answer:
It can cause liver damage.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would advise that you should avoid taking Tizanidine as it can cause liver damage.
It is a muscle relaxant and you should do hot fomentation and local application of pain relieving gel instead.
Consult your treating doctor for substituting Tizanidine with a safer option.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
