Agree with OTC being cheaper unless insurance would pay.

Not medical advice! Just entertainment/info value, I could be wrong
Oddly enough, my insurance will pay for prescription Motrin, but will not pay for a prescription for Allegra-D, since it's OTC in the same dose.

After my visit with the LMT, I felt very abused yesterday. Today, I'm feeling a bit better, although still sore. I've noticed that if I allow it to stiffen up (don't move it for a while), it feels worse when I do move it, but loosens up after a few minutes.

I'm not popping as much Motrin, and I've not taken a muscle relaxant since Thursday.
