Hey Southern Charm, I have another idea for you. I have been thinking about you, because when my spasms happen they are ridiculously painful and incapacitating. I actually carry a prescription for Skelaxin. It’s a non-narcotic and does not make me sleepy nor slow the bowel. My Doc and I landed on this medication, because I never know when the spasms are coming, and I have to stay functional. Some of the spasms last for days and the skelaxin allows me to move and not trigger the return spasm. It may serve as a band aide for you, but for me it keeps me out of the ER. I hope this helps.
