What Causes Increased Back Pain After Taking Vicodin?
I broke my leg and my doctor prescribed Vicodin for pain . Because I have to sleep on my back for my leg, my back problem has flared up! How long do I have to wait for the Vicodin to be out of my system so I can take Flexoril for my back spasms? Now my back pain is worse than my leg!

Vicodin is a pain-killer used for mild to moderate pain while Flexiril is a muscle relaxant. You can start taking Flexiril & stop using Vicodin. They don't have any known drug interaction but Flexiril can have many side effects. Use only if advised by a classified medical specialist. Secondly, its use is not recommended for more than 2-3 weeks.
