Muscle Relaxant Medicine & Stretching?

[Cully]

Just curious.... would it be bad to stretch while under the influence of Muscle Relaxant Medicine?

I've recently busted my hand and the doctor gave me lots of stuff. One of which apparently is a muscle relaxant.

Now.... Thinking about it... it would probably allow me to get into a bigger stretch as I wouldn't feel the pain as much... but then, would it be a bad idea?

What do you think?

If you know the limits of your joints/bones, it could be fun to try out some new stretching exercises, that were impossible before. However, I don't know wether the gains you achieve during that time will last at all...

It could work but here's the question, how will this affect your flexibility when you're off the muscle relaxants? Will the nervous system accept the changes you did while you were drugging it, or be back to its old ways?

I've head that while under anesthetic (I think it's like muscle relax? someting, I dunno) that they can maneuver people into splits and stuff.
