What Is The Maximum Dose Of Gabapentin And Flexeril That Can Be Taken For Severe Back Pain?

I strained my back and am having a lot of pain radiating from my low and mid-back down my legs. I have Gabapentin and Flexeril on hand. What is the maximum dose I can take of these medications for pain relief? I took Gabapentin 600mg., Flexeril 20mg, and Aspirin 650mg and experienced no relief.
