RoxyFoxy 30 Posted July 25, 2013 Is Cyclobenzaprine(flexerin) ok to take after gastric bypass(4 months post op)? I was prescribed Cyclobenzaprine today for severe upper back pain and after taking 1 pill 2 hours ago, I'm still in excruciating pain. I don't know if I should go to the ER or talk to my ortho doctor who I saw for the 1st time today, did an xRay but never got results. Is this a surgery side effect?

MissNikki27 54 Posted July 26, 2013 I still have back pain and I believe it is due to gas. I know that we shouldn't drink from straws but I find it hard to stomach Protein Shakes without them. It is a mental thing. So I just take the meds that are left over from the surgery when it gets too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
life_after_gastric_bypass 214 Posted July 30, 2013 I would definitely ask your doctor, and explain to them you still have the pain and the medicine is not working. hope you feel better:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
