MUSCLE RELAXANT

Last week when once again I had some pain from sciatica, my doctor prescribed Flexoral, a muscle relaxant, for me. In the past when I took it along with Ibuprofen, my sciatica pain went away. However, this time my doctor prescribed a dosage of three times a day rather than the normal twice a day and unfortunately I had a strong reaction to the medication. Even three days after I stopped taking it I still felt week and dizzy and spacey.

I called my doctor and she found a different muscle relaxant that was less potent and ordered it for me. But when I stopped at the pharmacy to pick it up, I learned my insurance company didn’t cover it and it would cost me $75. “No thank you,” I said. I had used a hot pad earlier during the day that helped somewhat and I decided I would keep using the hot pad instead.

Today, to my surprise, the nurse called me and told me she had contacted my insurance company and discovered another drug, similar to the $75 drug, that the company covered for a much lower cost. And she asked if I would like it. “Great,” I said and I sincerely thanked her for going above and beyond the call of duty to help me.
