I have had 8 surgeries on my spine, muscle spasms shut me down so often:(
I recently spoke to my neurologist about the spams. He prescribed Baclofin 5mg 3x day to start 1st 3 days, 10mg day 4-6, and if needed I could continue to increase dosage by 5mg up to 20mg. It literally works by day 3! Game changer for quality of life. Side note…
it makes me sleepy but an hour nap refreshes me mid day. He said do what works best for me and honestly beyond relieved!

Wow! I'm happy for you and to know it works is great news for me

I wish I could take Baclofin. It helps but makes me feel like I have the flu. It’s an awful feeling and makes the neuropathy worse. For muscle spams I use Soma 350 mgs or Skelexin.
