Sorry things aren't working out as you had hoped David. I had to do physical therapy for a shoulder injury a few years back and for me it literaly took months to show improvement. How long have you been doing the work? I would also agree that the relief provided by chiropractors is many times temporary as it's not really addressing the core issues - so while it can be helpful in the short term the long term work usually needs to be done by us. If you have concerns about the muscle relaxer perhaps consult with the prescribing doc.
