Default Lurkers, you know? Lurkers

But here is my back spasm reply, and it is the only thing that has ever helped with the multitude of episodes of spasms I have endured. Flexeril. That is it. Spasm is not something the stim can address, no way, no how. Flexeril is what I have had to use.

Now, I used to have spasms every single day and multitudinous episodes throughout a day which would invariably cause my back to wrench because the whole idea was muscular contraction. Spasm. Toward the end before I had the first big invasive back surgery 1/6/06 the spasms were coming so swiftly, like hundreds of episodes per minute, it is in part that which provoked me to scream so much outloud at that time. My neurosurgeon prescribed Flexeril as a relaxer which, for me as to this singular issue, became the saving grace for spasms.

My supply is now small, and I guard it carefully in case spasm occurs I cannot tolerate. It does happen every once in a while, but now, it is mostly the nereve pain managed by my cushion and my SCS.

Yup,
There you go, Saf,
A responsive post,
Hoping and praying you are over the spasm,
