"I&#039;m an active 51-year-old female with severe neck pain, esp. on the right, and probably from playing too many games on Android.  I have had trigger point injections, facet blocks, PT, massage, TENS, daily heat therapy, and a host of meds over the past several months. I also take Norco regularly. Soma did not help the neck pain.  But this Zanaflex works very well to alleviate the neck pain quickly.  I only take it if I don&#039;t have to drive (or be social) because of the dry mouth and grogginess.  My brother, 29, takes it for his back pain and swears by it, too.  I just wish I could get rid of the neck pain. I think it&#039;s also improved with my new exercise program: 30 mins on the elliptical, stretches, crunches, and leg lifts, then machines."
