Spinal Spasticity
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 4:44 pm
My son has had MS for 5 years. Primary Progressive. His nemesis is spinal spasticity and pressure. It has completlely
immobilized him to the point that he is only able to stay in bed on his side. He had a Baclofen Pump surgery and it has done nothing
to alleviate the spinal spasticity. It only completely took out his legs. He is desperate for help and nothing, no meds including Morphine, Zanax,
Valium, Vicodin help. He has gone to a spasticity expert, three in fact, and no change. Does anyone else have this same situation? It is inhumane how
much he is suffering.
He cannot even sit up in a wheelchair or in a hospital bed. HELP!
