Sorry to hear about all of this happening. I hope you feel better really soon


As for the stockings, my ot made me use those. They hurt from the tightness and roughness, but they did help to reduce the swelling in my feet slowly but surely. They are still a lil swollen still, but a lot better than they were before.

Best of luck with everything

Phew- I would think I was having a heart attack from the chest pain, but it is just the major spasms from my back. That pain stops me from moving at all and makes me scream and cry! I hate it!! My Dr. is hoping that the muscle relaxers will help, and she told me to take ibuprophen for the muscle pain I am having on top of the nerve pain. I am trying that.

I might have asked or mentioned this before {brain fog} do you have TOS, Fybro or CMP also?
your description above sounds so much like what many with TOS have had and been thru.
CMP & Fybro I believe can get spasms too.
But I think Fybro and CMP have more all over symptoms.
It's been a couple years since I compared all of them.
Usually it goes like this certain activities = soreness, tightness, triggerpoints and then spasms
and usually there is a delayed pain effect- hrs or even a day or so after the use/activity

Does RSD cause spasms too?

Hi jo55 - you mentioned it has been a couple years since you compared all the neurological diseases. I wonder if it might be helpful to the community if you brushed up so you could answer questions about how these diseases differ from one another? These questions seem to come up a lot.
