[QUAD-L] Spasms frustraition
My spasms keep happening and I've got no idea why... I get range of motion twice a day and had my baclofen increased to the maximum recommended dose but they keep happening. I dont have an infection right now as far as I know as I am not symtomatic yet and my urine is clear "my normal color" so I've got no idea whats going on...Does anyone have any advice? -Danny

Check for ingrown toe nails,and pressure spots. Over the years I've gone through spasms from hell and Dr.s couldn't figure out why, at one point I even broke the back of my chair. They finelly gave me valium which helps. The spasms ran there course and calmed back to normal . I do weather change affects them though.

Great advice Don! I find the same thing, if spasm's increase I can track it down to something, toe nail, pressure spot, full bladder… On Jun 25, 2014, at 11:12 AM, Don Smith wrote: Check for ingrown toe nails,and pressure spots.

Danny, If your spasms are really bad you need to think about asking your doctor if he or she can possibly prescribe something like diazepam or dantrolene. There are others. That is of course assuming you have done what the others recommended first. I was never able to get my spasms under control until I went on a regimen of baclofen, dantrolene and even a little bit of diazepam. I have gradually been able to reduce my diazepam over several years to where I'm only taking 2.5 mg (a half a pill) a day. Some days I even go without the diazepam. One thing that helped me reduce my spasms considerably was doing intensive ranging which concentrated on my Achilles tendon. Once I started doing this my legs stopped jumping out of the bed and I was able to reduce my medication considerably. If you're not sure how to do this, I might yield help you by describing or someone else might help out. I did try the standing frame long time ago and it worked, but it took two people to get me in the frame and it just wasn't that practical for me.
