Do You Suffer from Spasms with Cauda Equina Syndrome?

Get very bad spams in my "good" ankle, foot. Here in Canada one can buy over the counter robaxin with codeine - it helps a lot. Did not realize until now that they are a part of CES. I also get bad spasms in my thighs and my chest and back.

I get severe muscle cramps around my chest, just under my breasts. Also in my sides at waist level and my back. Perhaps they are due to the way I use my body as opposed to CES. All I know is that I am grateful for the OTC robaxin and codeine. Spent three weeks in Scotland from Dec.15th/13 to Jan.10th/14 and made sure to have several bottles with me. 

I absolutely loved Scotland and hope to go back someday. Went to visit my late husband's mother and brother. \they live just outside Inverurie, about 30 minutes from Aberdeen.

I see you flew out of Manchester, are you near there? Mike was from Moulton.

I get muscle spasms in my calves, feet and bladder. (The poll needs to allow more than 2 choices.)

When my calves spasm my whole lower leg tightens up and my whole leg bounces as my foot pushes down repeatedly. My neurologist said it was the Conus muscle spasming.

If spasms hit my bladder it starts out like a flutter and becomes very uncomfortable. I leak with every flutter and completely empty within a few seconds of the flutter starting. The urologist said it is Neurogenic bladder if I recall. Catheters make it worse and more painful. When I had a Foley I would leak around the catheter with every spasm so I still had to use a pad to keep my clothes dry. So far diapers have been the best way to manage since I have bowel incontinence to deal with also.
