I have also taken 2 Tylenol extra strength at 8 AM
Now a pharmacist has recommended 1/2 diazepam 5m....which I have taken

and 4 hours from now, Tramadol HCL 50 MG Is all this OK?


I have also taken eliquis, blood pressure med and Metrolpolol this morning.

Brief Answer:
The underlying cause needs to be evaluated.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query. As such, it is ok to all these medicines one after the other. However, if you are not getting relief, I would insist you to ask your doctor to get an X Ray of Lumbosacral spine done. It will help in ascertaining whether spinal traction or neurosurgery as essential. You can also ask your doctor to prescribe prescription muscle relaxants for you.

Apart from that, I would insist you to apply hot compress.

Hopefully that should help.

Let me know if I could help further.
