[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

Hello peoples. Its been a bit since i've got on this echo but lately i've
been having alot of trouble with spasms(as do we all) and pain. The pain i
think is from the fusion of c6 and c7 but its made my right side highly
sensitive to any sort of pain. My left side seems to be duller and that help
alot when i have to have shots but the spasms are getting out of control.
They have tried all the antispacmatic meds around and the only thing that
seems to work is valium. They want me to take 80mg a day but thats way too
much as far as i'm concered. Liorasal makes me sick,dantrilin does do
anything at all so i was wondering is anybody has found somthing that works
well or at least keeps them in check. Any feedback would be greatly
appricaeted. The only option left is some sort of inplanted pump in my side
with a direct line into my spinal chord and i wont go that route. And i dont
really want to get addicted to valiums so if anyone has some suggestions
please let me know ok? Thanks alot
