Hi Adele, sorry you are suffering. Like hopetoheal I took ibuprofen with robaxacet as well, the key ingredients are methocarbamol and acetaminophen, I'm sure you have something like that there, I used the generic brands anyway. The Valium is also very helpful, I was given oxazepam, a less addictive slow release type. I spent months on my heating pad, even had one for the car. I should warn you about Botox, maybe half the time it works, if done right, I suppose, but for me it made everything worse for six solid weeks. I didn't think that was possible, I was in so much pain but my pain went from a ten to a thirty! There are some positive stories about Botox here, but usually after multiple treatments. And it hurts! You've been suffering for awhile, LIS maybe the best option and it's not nearly as bad or scary as everybody thinks. Some people, like me, are in much less pain after surgery than before. Good luck I hope you find some relief soon! Trust me, the support you get here helps ALOT.
