Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / November 2004Flexeril and BPH???
Got a query. I've been having a lot of back problems. In the past, I know flexeril, the muscle relaxer, has worked well. However, I see on the patient sheet, it mentions the usual proviso about prostate problems ("if you have difficulty urinating due to enlarged prostate..."). I know for me antihistamines is a no-no. Does this mean flexeril is also a no-no??? Mel > Got a query. I've been having a lot of back problems. In the past, I know > flexeril, the muscle relaxer, has worked well.

It's going to be a matter of trial and error. Some things effect my bph and some don't. Problematic are beer, chinese food (probably the high salt content) red wine, but not white, and spaghetti sauce. Antihistamines aren't really a problem, but I tend not to take too high a dose. I guess you won't know until you experiment. Advil seems to help me get up less at night. To Barry: possibly MSG in Chinese food is an irritant? P.S.: thanks for the comment on Spaghetti Sauce. I ate some yesterday, and today I had a bad day. I'll keep an eye on that stuff, too. > It's going to be a matter of trial and error. Some things effect my > bph and some don't.
