Even with the Botox, muscle
relaxers, neurotin, and others I still have muscle spasms. They are
worse after I have been up in my chair all day and I am getting back in my
bed. I always take meds before getting back in bed because I know when I
start being turned the spasms will begin. Lately it has been worse in the
back of my left leg which I can't do much about. Once I am in the bed I
can put on my compression boots that massage my muscles that REALLY help my legs
and feet. I was told that Medicare and Medicaid wouldn't pay for these but they
did. It might be because I am on the waiver program. It buys my
diapers, and some things my PT and PT wanted me to have at home.
My doctors understand the pain I am in
since it does show up on the EMG test and you can see and feel the spasms.
I do have pain meds for simple to severe pain. I very,very seldom take the
strong meds, because I choose to cope with it than medicate with the meds that
limit me.
