Hi tracey05,
First, welcome to this thread if you are a newbie!!
What you are experiencing sounds quite horrific indeed. Are you on any pain meds currently? If not please ask... nay, beg your doc for something to help the pain!! I find Baclofen to help with muscle spasms, yet I do not suffer in the way you are explaining!!! There are several muscle relaxers, as you probably know; skelaxin, Soma, flexeril...
Also a strong Opiate pain med such as Opana may be helpful for you, have you ever taken opiate pain meds before?
I really am at a loss as to what to suggest to you for I certainly am NO doctor nor a medical professional, just another woman in chronic pain.
Please tracie, add any and all meds that you've tried? That will help other members answer your question!!!
Again, this is a great site !!!
