Had ACL complete rupture and medial meniscus shoehorn tear three months ago followed by immediate arthoscopcy, and then another to release stuck down fat pads. No reconstruction yet.
Due to loss of muscle recruitment, excess nerve pain and muscle spasm, was disagnosed with forme fruste CRPS (Pain Mgt consultant treating with Pregabablin 100gm, + lidocaine patches). Also, just started phsyio (hydro pool and some gentle exercises).
Muscle recruitment now much better, nerve pain much better BUT muscle spasm kicks in when trying to engage the quads and prevents leg from straightening. So walking on bent leg - puts lots of stress on rest of body.
Oh and quad muscle has almost dissapeared on inner side of thigh.
Has anyone had a leg spasm or anything similar? Any advice?
