...and I think it goes without saying, painful too!
Okay, I'm kind of all or nothing here lately on NT, sorry about that. But
I do have a question for you... I really need some feedback on this if you can.
So since my horrible back surgery in 2004 and the arrival immediately thereafter of CRPS II, I have lost some feeling (again since immediately after surgery) in my right leg/ankle/foot. It's numb but I can still feel some things in the right half of my calf on my right leg and this goes all the way down to my toes. I have had spasms since surgery and progression of CRPS in that leg and with the spread I have, well, I have spasms in lots of places. The worst being my legs and lower back.
My point is this. I stretch my legs often, or at least try to because it feels good. Sometimes when I stretch the original CRPS site of my right leg, ankle, and foot
it feels like it's going to get stuck!! I mean like stretch any more intensely Vrae and it's going to get stuck that way, and it doesn't have to be a full on stretch for it to feel that way. This ALWAYS
freaks me out!
I am hurting today

, no idea why today. The sun is shining, weather is okay, yadda, yadda. But I am, and I am spasming in both legs today too. I'm having the lovely crushing feeling like my legs are in a vice grip type pain too, and a dash of electric shock.
So I just stretched because I have been laying around today, and
yikes
, it felt like my shin and ankle would stick, or be stuck in the stretched position. It's another painful experience and again, always makes me wonder if I am in danger of a contractor that will never stop.
Is this how contractors start in CRPS?
Spasms as of late are far more intense, frequent and freaky.

I recently got a small Rx of valium, because the somas no longer seemed to be working very well at all. The first few doses (like 7-10 days) of valium I could feel improvement. Now this.
What the heck else is there to try? I do hot bathes/soaks, those help some.
Is this just going to be the gig now? And what... perhaps worse? <sigh>
