Frank, there are so many changes going on, I don't know how you keep track of what is hurting/helping.

Why did you go off Klonopin so soon, since that doesn't even contradict with LDN?

Your back issue may be caused by going off Klonopin (you may still need this in the short or long run, even if LDN helps a lot).

Or, it could be a withdrawal from Klonopin.

Or, the problem may be because you are pushing yourself harder (especially without the Klonopin).

Or, it could be because you just injured yourself with the freezer and your current problem has nothing to do with MS.

Or, it could be because you upped the LDN to 3.0mg, since you are now at a dose that very well may cause some initial side-effects for you (spasticity especially). If so, that should rectify over the coming weeks . . . but it's really hard to say what is causing you the trouble at this point.

I think if I were you, I'd just stay on the drugs that are permitted, like Klonopin, at least until you stabilize on a comfortable dosage of LDN.

You are likely going to want to try 4.5mg at some point . . . so keep everything else status quo until that is "tested".

JMHO.
