I had spinal fusion for thoracic scoliosis at 15. I have always had pain come and go, but recently (about 15-16 years post surgery) I've been having muscle spasms. Have you ever had issues with muscle spasms lasting for days/weeks at a time?

Yeah, the spasms started while I was in law school, so I presumed stress to be the main factor in their onset. They've been coming and going for about 3 years, and I've been prescribed muscle relaxers, but I try to avoid taking them unless completely necessary.

I'll have to look into picking up a TENS unit, I always thought they were for electric nerve stimulation (or simply for over billing, but then again, I am an insurance lawyer, I think everything is a scam hehe). I'll have to try the tennis ball trick as well, it seems a bit more targeted than the massage chair I have at my desk. Thanks for your suggestions and best of luck!
