Relax my muscles?

[Sheila6830]

I have had to instills in my doctors office. I think they have helped with the bladder burning a little bit. But my other problem is getting my muscles to relax. I start PT soon to see if I can get more control over my tight muscles.

I used to take klonopin years ago for anxiety and I never had this problem. But my doc will not prescribe a benzo. Obviously, I have an underlying anxiety problem that has been helped in the past with meds.

Does anyone use xanax or klonopin or something else on a regular basis to keep things relaxed?

i take valium as needed, 2mg...it takes the edge off things, but it wears off VERY quickly...
good luck!

I take Ativan for my anxiety and while it helps relax my neck and back muscles, it has never helped my IC. That makes me think that while it feels like I'm tightening my pelvic muscles that it's more likely inflammation.
