Q: Muscle Spasams

Sad 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?

Re: Muscle Spasams
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..
