Can flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) be used for hernias?

Hernias and flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl): Using muscle relaxants is not a standard treatment for hernias. If they're symptomatic (causing you pain) or if there's signs of compromised blood supply or ischemia, then surgery is the preferred treatment. A muscle relaxant could possibly be used for the pain associated with a hernia if surgery wasn't going to happen.

Yes, but no cure: While the muscle relaxant Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) can be used for pain related to a hernia, symptomatic hernias should generally be repaired to avoid an emergency "acute incarceration". See a general surgeon for a consultation.
