This journey that started had me believing that this was going to take care of my pain. My neurosurgeon told me I waited too late to come in. It only took me that long because I was able to move and work and get things done. Until I wasn’t. I couldn’t lift my right leg and my toes were all numb. My husband had to carry me. I try my best to stay busy because if I sit too long my back locks up. I have been told that my nerve damage is permanent. I don’t believe that. I stay active no matter how painful it is. I have to keep moving. I have been on so many different meds and at this present time I only take cyclobenzaprine. They do help a little bit. When I get a muscle spasm when I’m laying down I immediately get up and stand on my feet before it gets too bad. Some Tim’s I can’t get up fast enough. That pain right there is unbearable for me. Put it this way I would give birth to all 3 of my kids with no medication rather than deal with muscle spasms!
