How Can Muscle Spasms On The Back Be Treated?
Which medication is most effective for back muscle spasms- carisoprodol or methocarbomol? I tore my back muscles while lifting a bar bell wrong, they healed wrong, and although I am under pain management, I still suffer from acute pain. I have been prescribed both of these medications from my doctor, bUT still suffer a great deal.

Hi,
Muscle spasms can be treated by applying heat.
Painkillers with muscle relaxants like Carisoprodol and Methocarbamol would be effective and should be taken for the prescribed number of days.
Physiotherapy would be of great help in relieving the pain and spasms. In case of severe terrible pain, injections would be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
