Okay, I know I've posted about this in the past, so I will apologize in advance for repeating myself. It's just that I'm in pain, haven't slept in over 6 days and I'm at my wits end.

I have been dealing with what I thought was spasticity, muscle spasms for almost 3 years now. I never saw my neuro when it started because at the time he was on vacation and I spoke with his PA that was covering for him, told him my symptoms; sharp, stabbing, throbbing pain, muscle tightening and knotting, waking me up, coming sproradically during the day. The PA said it sounded like spasticity and prescribed 4mg Zanaflex nightly. It seemed to take the edge off and over the last 3 years I only take it as I need it. I can go months without any problems, but then, out of the blue it will start up again and last for any amount of time.

So it has started again, and this time it seems more intense and painful than I ever remember it being. I contacted my neuro to see if there was something else he could give me for the pain since the Zanaflex doesn't seem to be having much of an effect. His nurse called me back and said that he wants me to get a new C-spine MRI and have a nerve conduction study, he thinks it's a pinched nerve. I've had a pinched nerve before and it didn't feel like this. I'm just so tired of MRIs and testing..... Oh, and he prescribed Neurontin. Has that worked for anyone with spasticity?

I was also wondering if anyone experienced weird vision disturbances with muscle spasms? When I'm having the pain, it literally feels like my eyeballs are jumping. My vision seems to jump up and down.

Sorry for this long rant... I tend to do that when I'm in pain and sleep deprived.
