if you're really sore it probably means you're overtraining. Take a few days off, it'll be good for you.

The combination is ok, however, be aware of the synergistic effect of the narcotic &
the muscle relaxer = extra sedation. Also, no alcohol while on them. Maybe take
some ibuprofen or naproxen sodium to alleviate any inflammation.

what do u mean by synergistic effect can u explain what it is????

Same concept as stacking....1+1 = 3

sorry im so dumb but im still not sure of what u mean???

1. hydrocodone can cause drowsiness.
2. muscle relaxers can cause drowsiness.
Both of them together can cause even more sedation as the combination.

you're avoiding the real issue. you're probably overtraining and need to rest. Why mask the symptoms when you can solve the problem
