Does Advil Help Cure Muscle Spasms?
Question: Hi my husband woke up last night right after he had wet the bed. he is only 33 years old and in good shape and health, and had only drank coffee and water before bed. He was upset and embarrassed. He says he don't remember dreaming anything before it happened. Should he go to a doctor? How concerned should I be? He is currently taking muscle relaxers and 800 mg advil for a pulled muscle in his back and eh took both before bed.
