Hi All,
I'm a C3-7 Incomplete. About 3 weeks ago, I started having increased spasticity in my lower left leg. My left foot now lifts itself at random when I'm lying down trying to go to sleep. There are now places on my left leg that don't feel "normal" anymore; not only to the touch but even when not being touched. My leg has also started dragging more than it used to (it did this immediately after the initial injury but the first surgery stopped it).
Has anybody else had anything like this happen this many years after the injury (I had adjacent segment disease injuries in 2003 and 2005 which required additional surgery)? I have some old age effects in the low back, but I don't have the severe nerve pain in my left leg.
Thanks.
Carolie

Since you've had to have surgery in the past to correct a problem I'd say go to your Dr. ASAP! If you're having a deterioration of function especially all of a sudden vs. gradually over the course of YEARS than that's another sign that you need to get your buns on in & get an MRI or CT done to see if you need another surgery or not.
