I enjoy hearing others issues. I have severe stenosis cervical and lumbar. Everything is getting more pronounced
Balance/neuropathy/ leg pain all day everyday/ spasms/
My restless legs consist of visible muscle spasms starting at panty line down to knee in electrical fashion
I get injections regularly in neck low back left chest area/ occipital/ and shoulders
Did health care and was a reckless tomboy.
At 70 I’m getting down. Can’t and don’t want to do anything!
Any suggestions how to cope?
Also diabetic/ Graves’ disease. It’s a viscous circle ?
Thank you so much. I took only 25mg of Lyrica at bedtime last night and did ok. Hopefully, I can get off Lyrica soon and then I will consider Robaxin. I did gain weight while on Lyrica. I started it in March. I did get so much help from this Mayo Clinic Connect support group during the 13 months I was on prednisone for PMR. The experiences and advice that people gave me about tapering off prednisone was so helpful.
