Glad to hear the MRI was stable. Hope this new med works out for you.

never heard of that med...but hope it gives you some relief dear..and glad the MRI was stable..or no worse..yeahhhh hugsss,sarah

kelli,

i'm glad you got a good dr report. i've never been on soma so i can't help with that info.

but, i hope it will help.
i have pain too and know what it feels like.
feel better soon.

I know that pain , and it is spasticity. A friend of mine described it as a "feeling like the meat is being pulled off the bones", which was a pretty good way to describe it. I describe it as a "cold to the bones ache" and have had it in my legs, forearms, and in my wrist when I had a claw hand for 5 yrs.

That pain stayed after my spinal lesion attack in 2003, and was something I suffered with daily for two years before I got on LDN. I agree (with whoever said) that heat can be helpful . . . but if you have burning at the same time, heat will probably not feel good at all. I don't even like blankets on my legs when they are on fire like that.

Before LDN, I was using an antidepressant for fatigue, and it seemed to help somewhat with spasticity too. Avoiding cold can be very helpful, and winter is the worst for me. Maybe once you climatize for the Fall season, things will level off.

Tell me more about this Soma drug! Please!

My neuro was quite unhappy about long term use of Clonazepam. I can't blame him of course. My GP is also not keen about it.

Oh yeah, Elavil (Amitriptyline) caused me dreadful side effects and little benefits.

I've heard of Soma. I think it's used a lot for migraine headaches. I think it's some form of muscle relaxant.

Yes, I did some reading on soma last night. It is a muscle relaxer with many uses it appears. I am filling it today so I will let everyone know how it goes.

The meat being ripped off the bones is a very good description. I've started stretching at night too to try and alleviate some of the pain. Help some when my legs feel like they are pretzels up behind my ears.

Glad you appt went well and hope the leg feels better soon

Soma good lol I use to take that for back pain, did i mention soma good, I hope it helps you like it helped me
