Hi docs I just had a bilateral masectomy and decided to take 3 flexeril 10mg in last 72 hours to help sleep cause of some back discomfort. After seeing flexeril can cause gyno from those 3 pills can I trigger my gyno again? Or since I had masectomy everything is just gone up to the pectoral muscle?
