Muscle Spasams Posted: 02-07-07 18:58pm
my father has had
the most terrible back pain and the doctor
said it is due to spacams. He had an
appointments with some pain specialists
and they were going to give him a
cortizone shot in the back, but he had to
be off his blood pressure and plavix
medication seven days before the app..
His blood pressure shot up way high and
the Dr. Advised that he get back on the
medications, so he canceled his appt.
What in the world can he do. First, he
cannot take his medicine without his blood
pressure going way high and second he had
to cancel his appt because he had to get
back on the meds. So what can he do?

So why is his blood pressure high? Is it
because natrium (sodium) level is high?
Do not let them shoot cortizone to a
regular muscle spasm! Cortizone is for
inflammations.
There is always a reason for muscle spasm
and it has nothing to do with things that
cortizone can help..
