HI
I am trying to determine if the issues in my back and legs are from whatever is going on or something totally different.
The Neuro wrote an RX for zanaflex for spasms yesterday (thanks--it knocked me out for about 16 hours) and I woke with agony in my legs. Slept wrong, I guess.
My problem is with pain from the spasms--that the zanaflex isn't helping yet--nor is valium--but the real issue that is causing the most problem is the pain near my feet/ankles.
Any of you remember shin splint type of pain as a teen? Where each step feels like something must be broken? The pain in my ankles really feels like something is broken--obviously, i don't believe it is broken--but the pain is bad enough that I absolutely can not put weight on it. i've been using my rolling walker and resting my knee on it to get around the house today.
Is this something similar to any of you with PLS or something I perhaps should see my GP about? I am going to call him tomorrow and see if he wants me to try the zanaflex longer or move on to the baclofen.
Can ankles spasm like this? Should they hurt this bad?
Thanks
