A member asked:

I have back pain went to the er they sent me home with tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 and cyclobenzaprine and they are not working.

Poor Rx: Cyclobenzaprine is a sedative that only relaxes muscle in cats. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is only a analgesic and does nothing to correct back pain. At least they could have prescribed Aleve with a warning of infrequent possible gastric irritation. Get a back diagnosis and treat the cause.
