Back pain

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?

    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.

    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:)
