Avoid Re-injury while using Carisoprodol

Getting injured is expensive.  First, you must pay for the costs of doctor’s visits.  If you do not have insurance, then these costs can be very devastating.  Even with insurance, the copays for tests like X-rays and MRIs can add up quickly.  To deal with pain, you may be given a prescription for Carisoprodol (brand name Soma) which can cost upwards of $20 per day. To top it off, you will likely need to take a lot of time off work to recuperate from your injury which can add up to a lot of costs in lost wages.

 

Because the costs of lost wages can take a large toll, a lot of people make a very costly mistake: they use their Carisoprodol prescription to mask the pain so they can get back to work.  It is important to realize that Carisoprodol does NOT cure your injury.  All it is going to do is help alleviate the pain so you can be more comfortable while you heal naturally. Just because you cannot feel the pain, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t there.

 

Pain is Necessary

Even though no one wants to be in pain, it is actually has a very important role in our bodies.  When you experience an injury, your pain receptors in the area send signals to your brain.  While you may feel the pain in your back, legs, or elsewhere, it is ultimately a byproduct of our brains.

 

The reason why pain is important it is a way of reminding ourselves to take it easy.  For example, you have a serious hip injury. You are not in pain so long as you sit still.  But, when you try to walk, you experience shooting pain in your hip area.  This is your body’s way of saying, “hey, I am still injured so don’t try to overwork me now!”

Of course, we don’t want to be reminded of our injury every single time we make a slight movement in the area.  That is where a prescription to Carisoprodol can come in very useful.  The medicine will relax your muscles so less stress is put on the injured area and you experience less pain.  The problem is that Carisoprodol can be too effective in blocking pain.  If you don’t feel the pain, then you may not realize that you are putting pressure on the injured area.  Since the injured area is already weak, it will be even more prone to re-injury.

 

Carisoprodol Increases Likelihood of Accidents

Even if you have a job which doesn’t require you to strain your injured area (such as a desk job compared to a manual labor job), you should still not use pain killers to help you get back to work faster.  Carisoprodol often causes side effects like drowsiness, forgetfulness, and clumsiness.  Not only could you make some mistakes which could cost you your job (like errors in a serious report), you could have an accident, like slipping out of your desk chair (yes, it happens).  This will just worsen your original injury and you will have to spend even more time in recovery.

Does Carisoprodol Show Up in Drug Tests?

Do you have a drug test for work, sports or court?  For people who have taken Carisoprodol (Soma), this can be a major cause of concern.  Yes, Carisoprodol can show up in drug tests or even lead to false positives for other drugs.  However, in most cases, Carisoprodol users [...] Continue Reading…
