Hi everybody. I sure hope that someone can give me some insight into what's going on with me. Maybe I shouldn't be posting this question here, it probably belongs on the neuro board. As a review - I suffer from osteoporosis and have had many spontaneous fractures. I've had 9 spinal operations to fuse various vertabrae and I've had a right hip replacement. OK, on to the problem: I woke up this morning with a severe headache and really severe pain in my left temporal area and jaw. It felt like I had been grinding my teeth all night long which isn't the norm for me. When I tried to move, ALL my muscles in my upper body went into a spasm. They started out feeling like I was trying to stretch my arms and my upper body to their maximum - only it went even farther than that sort of stretch. I had no control over it and my face became contorted and all my muscles were SO painful. I laid back down and noticed that everytime I tried to turn my head to the left, it would start another series of muscle spasms all throughout my body, including my legs, calf muscles, thigh muscles, etc. I felt very dizzy all day long and the only thing that stopped these uncontrolled spasms was when I took my dose of Tizanadine (Zanaflex) and my methadone AND a oxycodone 30 mg. I kept thinking that maybe I have some fluid leaking from my spine or from my head or something....don't know why I have that sense. This is so totally foreign to me. I can honestly say that this has never happened to me before. Tonight I'm not having nearly the amount of spasm that I had earlier, but now all my muscles feel like someone came along and crushed them. Does anybody have a clue as to what this could be?? I'm very worried. KathyMac
