Summary
A 22-year-old posting in r/cfs described two years of muscle tension all over the body, in the neck, upper and lower back, arms, legs and groin. They had just started methocarbamol 500 mg three times a day and after three days it had not helped, and asked whether to keep taking it or try physical therapy, massage or a chiropractor. The post says nothing about their overall level of function or of any improvement.

I am on 500MG of Methocarbamol ... Unfortunately it hasn't been helping with my muscle tension.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
