Muscle Spams and Neuropathy

I've been told the same potassium and/or magnesium prescriptions by doctors too. I have Ibs-d, and the magnesium just disabled me even more. Potassium isn't a problem to take but it hasn't cured a thing either. I never heard of the soap in the bedding thing. I'll try it. Bending body parts that are cramping in the opposite direction does work. If you can do that. Like for a foot, or even the muscles on the lower leg. Often, I've had to get out of bed, to stand on my feet to get them to stop cramping. That's while I'm taking Cyclobenzaprine 3 times a day, too. But when it's parts of your spine (which mine is) that's difficult and they just plain won't unbend, without the prescription helps. So, it kinda depends on how severe yours is, what will work, and what won't. I have exercise intolerance and have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Like I needed one more chronic and painful condition. CFS and exercising doesn't work. I know that but have to have someone label me with CFS before it's respected. My favorite exercise is walking anyway, which is why I've gotten my other foot fixed. It takes time to work through all the options, do what you can, when you can and if something works for you, keep it, but also keep an open mind. I'd be perfectly happy to quit prescriptions if one spine injection fixes it all, but also am not holding my breath for that to happen. It's like eating an elephant. The only way to do that is to eat it one bite at a time. By the time you figure out what animal you been working on, you're almost done. Keep at it anyway.

Hi !....
I also have PN...and find that using a pillow at the end of my bed, under the duvet...keeps a bit of room and weight off of my feet. This has really helped with cramps as well as them getting either too warm or too cold....seems to be making a difference.
Good luck to all...many belessings....

My “nerve” hit between 2 next my lower back. A few weeks ago, I had a surgery at that hospital. It took hours from Doctor A. He’s been there from my TBI accident 12 years ago. He moved that “nerve” so it would be by itself. That ended pain from my left leg, right leg and both of my rear ends.

Now, today, I need to exercise my body on my right side from the top to the bottom leg. My inbalanced (sp?) causes of falling down - , so he gave me -in my surgery - on my back. But no moving down, moving my dance-like left-right and little stretching above that I need.

Every 3 days a week, helpers come to me. That’s an hour that day by stretching your legs/heat - but still my back is straight; some walking tp\oo
