What Causes Spasms And Tingling Sensation In Legs Post Toradol Shot?

Hello, I got a shot of toradol about a year and a half ago for a migraine and the next day I could not walk. It was excruciating and my legs felt like jello from the thigh down. Now my I have spasms in my leg still and they tingle all the time. My doc sent me to the er to check for rhabdo but that wasnt the case. The er doc sent me to an orthopedic doc but said he didnt know why i was there and that i shouldve been sent to the neurologist. I finally got in to see the neurologist and had an emg and mri done. everything was normal. he put me on neurontin and propanolol but they did nothing. Well the propranolol made me feel like I was going to pass out constantly, but nothing effective. So they put me on neurontin and elavil. the elavil helped with my migraines but my legs were still going haywire. he sent me to another neurologist 4 hours away and she repeated the scans and saw nothing abnormal except a small bulging disc in between c-6 and c-7. this was all last year. I am still having trouble and they cannot figure out. In the past 6 months I started having eye problems. seeing random flashes of light, dark spots, temporary blindness when i got up and started walking around. My bp is always great so that has been ruled out. I finally went to get my eyes checked last month because they were getting worse and it turns out both optic nerves are swollen. the eye doc was extremely weird about talking about what was happening but told me I needed to go back to the neurologist and it is very important to keep the appointment and I had to get a field vision test which came back and i have no idea how to read the results. my left eye is 94% and my right eye is 88%. when i did this vison field test, i asked the doc what was wrong with my eyes. he said i had papilledema which I had no idea existed. He said based on the results of all these exams he was very happy that the neuro ordered more mris. I went back to the neurologist and she had no idea why i was there because they failed to send the medical records. She looked at my eyes a lot and my mom said she looked worried. She sent me home saying she was going to order another mri of my brain and lumbar spine. about a week later i get a ton of papers in the mail telling me i have a ton of other tests i have to do on march 23rd. She ordered an mri of my brain and everything to my lower back, and a ct angio carotid, and a ct of my head. why is she ordering all of these tests especially the ct angio carotid one? And what is going on with me?! She also ordered another emg, and another eye exam but it must be done at WVU where I have been going to see her. Any ideas? I am sorry about the bad grammar and whatnot, but I am exhausted and quite panicky.
