What happened? Does anyone know?

I was so worried, as was my therapist... he even asked me if I wanted an ambulance. I just waited and things improved. That evening in bed the same thing happened to my left leg (which is the worse one of the two) and the rest of the evening and the next day I was weaker than usual and felt like moving was harder than it should've been.

My daughter suffered alodynia, hyper-signals reaction to nerve activity. She had several diagx, but her clawing up was classic. When it happened in the specialist office and he nailed it. The nerves can handle so much in signal activity, when it goes past a point they try to protect their self, the muscles will creat a splint around them and tighten.

He called the position, shrimp something (She would at times as in his office get it in both hands and arms, spasming against her chest, so it has a name...

I would have to find each trigger point, as sometimes it went back up into her face and neck in huge muscle tightening so tight you saw every muscle in the neck...scalense.
But, I could press on the inner elbow for her hands, the back of the shoulder and along the traps for the higher up spasms.

It would freak her out. SHe could be just reaching for a drink, and stretch to far for it and end up with it clawing up mostly in her hands, but more severe times, into the neck and face.
IF I did not do the trigger point realse and massaging she would have stayed like that in misery a long time.

I would never suggest you do the desentizing he is trying as the nerve are over sensitized and it will counter-react in you.Too much stimulation and the nerves are going to go nuts.It is doing the opposite, not all PT is good PT for everyone.....that was a huge Bell Ringing.....

Try valium as a muscle relaxant. I take 5 mg to 10 mg a day. 10 mg the days I work to keep thing loose. My daughter would take klonopin,
Did you ever get any diagx of brachial plexapathy for the cervical nerve compression? Over stretched over injured nerves act like that.

Just my thoughts,
Dianne
