NTG Ointment

Post by critthinker »

Hi All,

I'm curious to see whether nitroglycerin 0.2% ointment is effective at all for CPPS-related muscle spasm. It's clearly indicated for levator ani syndrome, but I'm wondering what, if any, success that CPPSers have had with it. It seems like it could be helpful, especially during flare-ups when there might be muscle hyperactivity.
