tumor in spinal cord neurotransmitter implant Posted: 05-05-06 14:18pm
My husband had surgery three years ago to
remove a tumor in his spinal cord. He
has had severe pain in legs and feet and
muscle spasms that keep him awake at
night. He recently received a
neurotransmitter implant in his lower back
that helps greatly with the pain, but he
is plagued with muscle spasms in his legs
and feet. He takes 3200 mg of neurontin
daily, plus cymbalta. Can anyone help
with suggestions of other medications.
He tried lyrica and it didn't help.

Maybe he could try requipt (sp) the
restless leg medicine. Also, he should be
going to a pain management doctor who can
treat with a full schedule of medicines
that together can help him to get better.
