hi my name is vicki. about 5 days ago i woke up with a stiffness in my lower back...right side. it was tolerable but then it turned into spazems starting middle butt area and goed down both legs to my ancles. its like a charle horse that you get when you are sleeping. i have previous nerve damage in my right foot and when the spazems come on i can feel like a nerve un winding [if that makes sence]. the pain actually takes my breathe away when it comes on. its not too bad untill i stand up and walk and its almost impossible to just stand still. i have been useing a cane the past 2 days and am lookimg for some relieve soon...words of comfot too....thank you....vicki beloat
