Hi everybody,
3 days ago I got the twinge in my back which indicates that I am going to have a spasm! Well it happened yesterday I am now flat out with strict orders to rest it for a few days. I need a rest but not like this.

In 2013 I had an accident resulting in spinal injury at the base of my neck with paralysis from there down, spasticity (muscle contractions and spasms) and double incontinence.

Sorry to hear that you are flat on your back. I can sympathise totally with you as my back is knackered and I am in constant pain as well as loss of feeling in some limbs.

I get restless legs, a constant feeling as though I want to go to the toilet and shooting pains going from the base of my spine right to the tips of my toes.
This only happens when my back is bad, not when it is ok. The worst is the feeling of wanting to go to the toilet, and not wanting to move because of the intense pain.
There have been times when I used my diaper for it's intended purpose when I was in a lot of pain, just because I read the signals wrong I thought it was one of the false signals.
On that occasion I had to wait for the health visitor to help me change. The embarrassment was overwhelming.
never mind though these things happen.
Oh forgot to say I am writing this email from my bath after my back is well and truly on the mend (again).
