Today is not a good day pain wise. I guess that I have been doing too much and walking too much. Last nite I had muscle spasms in my legs. They alternated between the front of the leg on the right to the back of the leg on the right and then did the same thing on the left leg. The pain was intense. I was up all night. I have no other explanation. It almost felt like sciatica in the front and back of both legs,. but I don't think that is what it was.Has anyone ever had this? I took two flexeril and finally fell asleep at about 4am. Really tired and now my back is hurting. I feel like I took one step forward and about 5 back

Hi Jasmine,
Sometimes it is exactly that, 1 forward and 5 back. Try to focus on the forward steps and don\'t beat yourself up about the backward steps. Try to see them as challenges or obstacles to work around. Yes, I have the muscle spasms in my legs, and they really get to me. I take a medication called Baclofen. It was originally prescribed to cerebal palsy patients. For the spasms Baclofen is great. I find Flexeril to be good for the deep muscle aches we all feel. Talk to your Dr. and ask him/her about Baclofen. I think it will bring great relief for those spasms.
Be good to your self today,
Many Soft and Gentle Hugs,

I used to have them all the time... every day, mostly at night. Then they all of a sudden quit. I would knock on wood but they started again a few days/nights ago. Not every night yet thank goodness. I feel for ya Darlin. Luv ya!!
OOPS...... but yes, I took Flexeril too. But just 10 mg. A doc that filled in for my primary while he was active duty in the military put me on Requip once.... that really helped but just temporarily. Not sure why they had stopped but I liked it. As for steps,,,, as long as some are going forward, there is hope.
DON\'T MAKE ME GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND KICK YOUR BOOTIE MISSY!!! DIDN\'T I TELL YOU TO TAKE IT EASY???????????????? NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID FOR DOING ALL THAT WALKING AND DRIVING AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE YOU DID AND DIDN\'T TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still hope you feel good as before. Many (((hugs))) and prayers that you feel better too. :0)
