What Is The Cure For Back Pain Caused By Pulled Muscle?

I have lower back pain that just came on 2 days ago and might have pulled a muscle, and took Advil and also went for massage but still hurts. I am on Allopurinol for gout, is it ok to take flexeril with it? My girlfriend has flexeril she takes when she has back pain and helps her even just one pill.

Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about this back pain. The treatment consist of rest, pain medications and massage therapy. Flexeril is a good drug for muscle pain but, I generally discourage my clients from taking drugs without prescription.It would be preferable that you get consulted and get a prescription tailored an adapted to you.

I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications or more information if need be.
