A member asked:

Can muscle relaxers help with hip pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but: Muscle relaxers can help with the pain from muscle spasm but it is uncommon to use them alone in large joint pain. They are more commonly used with nonsteroidal drugs which can relieve both pain and inflammation.
