Thanks, and I am currently taking muscle relaxants as my muscles are already quite spastic, which is why I think the reaction is probably more of a snowball effect . But I take baclofen 3 times a day and then a zanaflex in the evening (still quite spastic for all that) poor muscles just don't know when to quit.

I'm going to see my pain management doctor tomorrow, and my fingers are crossed that we can figure something out. I don't particularly like taking pain meds, as far as opiates go, they seem too much like a bandaid and frankly if they're strong enough to touch the pain they're strong enough to turn off any of my controls so as soon as they wear off things feel sooo much worse as the brain has to go through and switch everything off again.

So opiates are definitely out, which makes me a bit more open to maybe an anti-depressant as a nerve treatment, or perhaps changing up the muscle relaxants just to see if there's a better mix. But honestly, I just hope against hope that this body of mine will come to see that this is for its own good and I can be just as stubborn as it is so it'll just have to take it whether it likes it or not.
