Title: Safe pain relief?
Post by: GMDizzyndeaf2 on March 02, 2025, 08:02:44 AM

Hello,
  Hopefully someone can help. I just pulled a muscle in my back and was wondering what is safe for us to use. I had GK about 5 1/2 months ago. Last I remember they said no NSAIDS but I am not sure if that was only afterwards or for life.
Thanks for any help!

My specialist said no ibuprofen straight after CK re risk of bleeding. He did say panadol was fine. I think voltaren gel be ok also-maybe ask (can also get a physio gel at pharmacy). Massage and warm pads may help, infrared too.
