Re: [TMIC] question
It is something we all have to live with; something we all have to work out with pain and suffering. Lol. When my bowel is full, I can't empty my bladder either! Learned a long time ago what Dr. Kerr meant by digital disimpaction!

Re: [TMIC] muscle spasms
Hello,Janice, I came down with Tm in Oct of 2002, so now nearly 7 years. Been to Dr. Kerr and to Dr. Jamie at Bayview in Baltimore for implantation of a neurostimulator to help with bladder control. I was affected at L-5/S-1, so am mostly dealing with leg and foot problems. I am able to walk with a cane, tire easily, have depression, and much numbness from perineum on down. I got SS disability on the first try, don't feel like I have much to complain about, really.

The muscles in my legs and feet were so tight I felt like I was walking on a couple of two-by-fours. My therapist says I might as well have been. She's been working on loosening my leg muscles for about 3 years now, and we actually are getting somewhere. This last week my legs were as looser than they ever have been. I have weekly massage therapy on my legs and feet. Just a different way of going about it I guess. 'Course I have to use those muscles or they just tighten up again--or even if I do. at least it's more comfortable and probably not any more costly than some of the meds. Cora
