I have a back that can go into spasm. It often happens when traveling after long plane trips. I am planning on surfing in CR. I don't think I can talk my doctor into supplying me with meds to take "just in case." I purchased oxa forte in the domincan republic for a similar reason. It def helped and I was able to enjoy my vacation, worry and pain free. I have received mixed info re whether oxa forte or aredol are available with a prescription in CR. Anyone have advice/answers? Thanks so much. p.s. I am NOT a drug addict, just an old mom whose body is a bit worse for wear these days.
