Do any of have any suggestions for dealing with the pain caused by the spasticity (pulled or torn muscles), without resorting to opiates. They don’t do a lot in the pain department for me (just don’t work) and the side effects (systems clogging) are highly undesirable. It seems I’m in pain most days, not your little aches and pain, but down right hurting (mostly muscle stuff, some cramping). I’m exhausted most days from the drugs and the effort it takes to live life with a MND, the pain seems to suck whatever energy that is left over right out. Sorry guys I know I do a lot of whining on the forum, but the Doctors just look at you crossed eye and make feel like your nuts. That leaves the loved one and bless them they try so hard but they don’t have the experience or training, what they learn is by trial and error. You know sometimes, let’s make that most times it seems that they are hurting as bad as we are or worse as they watch us struggle to do things. They think their hiding it, but you can tell. Boy really went off subject in this post, but if I’m whining too much let me know. I just figure you all are living with the same thing so you may have some tried answers. Maybe I should just shut up and watch an old WWIII war movie. (ref. to a prior post)
