I have to get my husband to massage and stretch them for me during the spasms if he's around. I've also noticed some weakness in those limbs despite doing all of the things I normally do evenly. The pain is also worsening in those limbs and my current regimen is not working so any input on that would be welcome too. (lyrica - 50-100mg AM/150mg PM, celebrex 100mg AM/PM, hydrocodone 5/325 up to 2/day, tizanidine 2-4mg up to 3/day, lidocaine patches)

Any tips? Tricks? I see pain management tomorrow so going to ask them what they think but looking for things that have helped others so I can bring them up. Thanks in advance!
