Brief Answer:
Request for more powerful pain medications such as vicodin!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pulled muscle and the pains you are experiencing. This is certainly tough on you and I will suggest that you get god pain control before going for physical therapy. The current muscle relaxed doesn't come anywhere close to what is required to control the severe pains you ar currently experiencing. I will also recommend that you only start physical therapy after the pain has been better controlled and not when it is this disturbing.

Vicodin is a powerful drug for this. However, you must talk to your doctor about it to get a script as it is not available over the counter. When you get this going, please report your progress to me for more insights and guidance.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
