Mary,
There are all kinds of ways that you feel back pain. Yes, muscle relaxants are by prescription only.
I take the generic for Flexeril and that is a safer drug over time according to research.
There are several muscle relaxers. They kind of relax the brain and they do work. The important thing is to get your pain under control. I know that "take your breath away kind of pain".
Right now, my pain is out of control despite the medicines and I am not sleeping very well so I may have to call the doctor's office on Monday and tell them about it so I can get it under control.
It is ok to vent on here...we get it.
Take care,
runner
