I have had back pain for over 3 months. I have had a bunch of blood tests and nothing abnormal was found. I take naproxen and cyclobenzaprine.

Hello,
It is hard to tell if it is a muscle problem or something else. Depending on what was ordered as a blood test, we can usually see if there is inflammation involved. I would recommend that you consult a musculoskeletal professional such as a chiro or a physiotherapist. These can better identify the problem with manipulation and questionnaires.
As for your medication, these are very effective medications in most cases where inflammation is involved. Naproxen (anti-inflammatory) decreases swelling and inflammation, while Cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxant) helps relax muscles and get better nights.
