Sorry these meds are causing you so much trouble. Narcotics make me dizzy and nauseous, so I had to ride the LIS pain out. For me, it was worse than fissure pain, which is hard to believe. At any rate, I should know the name of the muscle relaxant, but because I was doing well the day he prescribed it, and for 2 months thereafter, I haven't even looked at it. I have a tendency to "wait and see," in the hopes that the spasm will break. I tend to spasm for days or weeks at a time, though, and I almost like to guage it to assess whether I'm improving. He didn't think I'd need the relaxant in the morning, but I wake up in spasm, if the sphincter has been in spasm the night before. But, you're right, he said I don't need to take it regularly - only if I'm in spasm. I'll check the name tonight, and post it tomorrow.
