To say I was suffering, would be an insensitive understatement. I have a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder or what my doctor called Cervical Radiculopathy. Nice to know it has a name, all I knew is that hurt like hell and this was my second bout with it in a year.

The doctor prescribed me Tizanidine which is a generic form of muscle relaxant to relax the shoulder and Ketoprofen to stop the inflammation.

So about bedtime I popped both pills.

T+ 1 hour-nada.
T+ 2 hours - I’m relaxed, but am not experiencing the so-called dizziness, no sleepiness, just relaxation. Shoulder is still tender, but not painful. And my mind is clear enough to run a marathon. Shame my body isn’t up for it, it’s simply to relaxed. But I’m not in pain, so I can get some sleep. Lights out!!

Conclusion: The two drugs together are good for pain relief, but not much else.
