Possibly: Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is muscle relaxant and if that helps loosen muscles that might relieve your pain as well. As far as curing your back pain, it will not cure it. Typically the muscles are tense for other reasons, until that is addressed or corrected the cure will not happen. Sure you may workout with the medicine, however it does have sedating qualities so you may want to watch out for that first.

Yes to 1st question: No it will not cure back ache. You can work out but if it makes drowsy or you are trying to build muscles it may not be a good idea.
