Hi Vrae. I have Dystonia, which is connected to my CRPS Type II. It involves severe spasticity, cramping, contracture, etc. I have a baclofen pump and I take tizanidine too. My muscles have a life of their own. At one point both of my feet were in permanent contracture with my toes curled under and my left foot rolled under where I walked on the outside of my foot. I had surgery to correct both feet. The spasticity, though, is in both legs, arms, neck, chin throat. Sometimes my left leg flies around on its own beyond my control. I have had instances where my hands and arms curl up too. The spasms in my chin throat tongue are very frightening. The whole Dystonia/spasticity thing is crazy odd and scary. Epsom salt soaks, magnesium, baclofen pump and oral, tizanidine are all part of my regimen. I hope you find relief soon.
