Muscle spasms in spinal cord injury recovery
Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2019 8:23 am
Peppa ruptured disc chasing a ball, injuring her spinal cord. This was 1 year ago.
Her recovery was slow but when put on steriods 6 months in she started to be able to move her back legs more and do a kind of walking /bunny hop. Over the past few weeks she has been doing amazing and getrinf stronger, tail wagging more etc.
2 days ago she was lying on her right side (always been weaker) her back legs started to spasm and move, this went on for about 5 minutes, her right leg after was quite limp but recovered later but she is walking less now and has been set back a few weeks in terms of what she was like.
Any ideas if this is related to nerve recovery? Something that just happens? Or any other ideas??
Thank you
