SAT 13MAY
I was working my traps by doing dumbbell shoulder shrugs, 40 pounds each dumbbell, and in the middle of my second set both my traps, mostly the lower region down by my neck, started to hurt and get stiff. Like I pulled that muscle. I'm pretty sure I did because about a year ago I was doing the EXACT same thing, except with 50 pounds per dumbbell and got the same pain. I went to my doctor and he gave me a muscle relaxer called, I might spell it wrong "Flexeroll". After about a day of streching and taking the pills I felt fine. From then on, until SAT, I only did barbell shrugs. Well SAT I thought I would give it a shot but with less weight and now my traps are killing me. I have very limited range of movement, but I been steching non-stop too and things are getting better, but very slowly.

Now, I know I should go to the doctors again, but I dont want to. I was wondering if anyone knows of an "Over the Counter" muscle relaxer. I dont even know if they make those. I did a search on Google and for the first three pages it was muscle relaxers by chemical name. I dont know what the hell all that jive is.

It would totally rock if someone could help, but if not, thats fine. I will eventually do something about it.

Thank you.

Flexeril (Cyclobenzaprine) works pretty well, I agree, but it makes me really sleepy! I am not sure if there is a good muscle relaxer that is OTC...I don't really think that there is...
