The subject of postoperative myalgia associated with the use of succinylcholine is reviewed. We discuss the mechanisms of succinylcholine-induced myalgia and the techniques available to prevent and treat the myalgia. In situations where patients are at risk of developing myalgia and succinylcholine is the neuromuscular blocker of choice, the use of a combination of techniques may prove to be a useful strategy.
