Can Pinched Nerve And Gluteus Muscle Pain Be Treated With A Relaxant?
Hi I am traveling and need a muscle relaxant to help with my pinched nerve in the back. I have been tacking pain killers, anti inflammatory rx and other meds but no one have prescribed something to relax the muscles in the left gluteous so I can sleep at night

Thanks for asking on HealthCareMagic. A muscle relaxant should indeed be helpful. You make take muscle relaxants like myoril forte or myospaz forte (any one) twice a day for a couple of days and hope that you would get relief. Hot compress alternating with cold compress should also help in reducing the pain.
