    Leg Spasms Getting Worse

    This December 7th, 2009 my son will then be paralyzed 2 years from an auto accident. He
    is 23 years old now and paralyzed from T7 down. He takes Neurontin and Baclofen daily for the leg spasms and for the past month they have gotten so bad it keeps him awake at night and the spasms rock his entire body. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this and what may be the cause. We are going to get him an appointment with a doctor soon. I'm very worried about this.
