I have multiple herniated discs, Degenerative disc disease (DDD), and multiple bone spurs along with arthritis and osteoarthritis thru-out my spine. I have been taking narcotic pain meds for years. I have also done PT in yrs past with little improvement, although I do incorporate some of the more effective methods daily. Due to all of this I have a lot of muscle spasms, especially in my neck and s...

I used it after I had plastic surgery. It worked much better than my pain medication.

Works pretty good for me. I sometimes use it in conjunction with Vicodin. For a decent light weight muscle relaxer, I can't complain.

I have been taking this for a week or so now. It has not helped at all. It's about as effective as Tylenol.

it doesn't seem to relax the muscles at all. Maybe my dose is too low or something. I don't know. The only side effect I had was acid stomache when I took it on an empty stomache.

After trying several different muscle relaxers, my doctor had me try this one. It has really helped the severe muscle spasms that I have in my back. I can work with no drowsiness. This med really works for me

Ive been on it for years now. I have fibromyalgia and degenerative joint disease. The Robaxin helps with my muscle pain and some joint pain. I would reccommend it to anyone who needs it.

I had a major back surgery and was having severe muscle spasms after. I could not get out of bed nor could I walk for long without having a muscle spasm. They had started to give me this medication and within two doses, I had seen a difference. I am glad they put me on it.

I have degenerative disc disease and this medication helps. It does not make me drowsy like some other muscle relaxers. It isn't quite as dramatic in it's effect but the alternative is worse; like taking Flexeril and having to sleep! Skelaxin works about the same if not a little better but is really expensive so I am glad this much less expensive alternate works for me. This medication allows me to function and receive some moderate relief.

I have taken Robaxin on and off, when needed, for the past 10 years for a herniated disc in my back. It works wonderfully when my backs starts hurting again. I take it for a couple days and the pain goes away. It does not make me sleepy and I can funtion on it fine while taking it. It has helped wonders and is nice to have around when I need it. I probably use it every 3-6 months for a couple days....

I don't know if it got rid of my back pain because it gave me such bad headaches at night I couldn't sleep! The nausea was also bad but I'm very sensitive to medication.

I had NO relief from this medication. It made me sleepy but didnt help the pain or spasms. It just made me dizzy and a little nauseated.
