What Causes Muscle Spasms Throughout The Body Long After ACDF Surgery?
Had ACDF (C3-C4 & C4-C5) on 12/20/12 for herniated cervical discs and stenosis.5 weeks later my symptoms ,after living on steady diet of neurontin, range from mild to downright scary, including intense weakness in legs and muscle spasms throughout body. Is this typical? Shoul I be worried? NS is non-communicative.
It could be a neuromuscular degenerative problem. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
