Fibromyalgia/Muscle Spasms

Shelly

What have you done for your fibromyalgia and muscle spasms during pregnancy? This is the first time since becoming pregnant 12 weeks ago that I’ve gotten severe spasms in my upper back that radiate down my right side and end up giving me sciatic. I normally take 10mg of flexeril to help with the spasms, but I haven’t taken any yet until I talk with the OB; apparently it’s safe during pregnancy but I’m not risking it yet. 2 extra strength Tylenol didn’t even touch it! I cannot work in this much pain; I work as a nursing assistant in a hospital lifting and repositioning patients frequently. I do get a lot of help from the staff but they can’t take my pain away 😭
