Default Oh the pain

I've had back pain and leg weakness that required therapy. I have a big problem with spasticity and it can be ANYWHERE....!!!! Baclofen helps and I try not to take it all the time so my body doesn't get used to it and make me use more and more.
Requip is wonderful.....again only taken if I think I REALLY need it. It helps you fall asleep too which can be difficult if you hurt. The two drugs can really zap the spasticity when it gets on a roll. Sometimes I think things are acting up more and more and then I take both drugs (baclofen during the day and Requip before bed) and wow....stiffness resolved sometimes for days!! I don't know, but I imagine the drugs loosening the knots and laying them out smooth.......relief.
Sometimes a good margarita will act nearly as well.....or at least I don't notice as much

sounds like a scary day!

I too get spastic stuff, and it can be anywhere from my rib cage to my legs. I hate hate hate taking pills, shots, or creams. I just want my body back. I dont want to cover the symptoms, I want them to GO AWAY! I am glad your husband got to you, and took you home. he sounds like a sweetie.

get some rest.
