A member asked:

What is the best muscle pain relief medicine? for severe leg muscle pains, strains and pulls?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Martin Tamler answered

Muscle pain: Consider Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) (cyclobenzaprine). While others will also work, this tends to be the best pure muscle relaxer.
