Mary,

My back reacts to whatever with spasms. My first surgeon (disco/lami 1994) recognized this and ordered muscle relaxers immediately, Toradol I think.

All I have to do is move wrong, sneeze, take one step too many or even sit in the 'wrong' chair. If available to me, I can get them to stop in about 10 minutes by sitting in the zero gravity position or laying down with my legs elevated.

I know how painful this is and hope they subside quickly.

Dale
