Scooter symptoms and conditions

I took Zocor for 9 months after I had a heart attack. After about 8 months I began having sever muscle spasm in my legs. I had a couple of episodes where when walking I couldn't pick up my feet and thought I was having a stroke and had to sit down and rest before walking on. I had to do this several times to get where I was going. I told my cardiologist and he had me stop the Zocor. The spasms stopped but I never regained the strength in my legs. Today I have had to put ramps in at home cannot climb steps. The ramp is difficult because of the incline but it is better than crawling up my steps to get in the house. I can only walk about 50 steps before my legs give out on me. I cannot walk on uneven ground without holding on to something or someone. I have now had 2 back surgeries because I have been told over and over it is my back with no relief for the legs. This last surgery my left foot drags and my big toe hangs down and I cannot pull it up. Now I fall a lot because of that and have to wear an AFO to keep my foot and toe up so it doesn't drag and trip me. The back doctor thinks it another pinched nerve and wants to open back up again. I am so tired of them trying to convenience me it is my back when I know it was the Zocor and the damage apparently is irreversible but no one wants to agree with me. I am sick of it and just wish they would say yes it was the Zocor and get you a scooter and live the best you can. I know I am headed for that road I use a walker and cane when I don't have someone with me to hold on to. Because I am so unstable on my legs.

Hi im steve form the UK. I was in a traffice accident in october 2002, i was hit my a car and knock off my Scooter(moped) and landed on my back. I have damged my back tissue and back(spinal) muscles. I have had chronic back pain ever since the accident and my GP has given me Tramadol. I was on them for two years from my accident, then i was off them for one year and now im back on them. These are the only tablets that do help the pain and i have tried other painkillers but did not help with the pain. I get a Dry mouth, (very thirsty), sometimes i itch alot, feel a bit dizzy and tired, when i yawn i tingle all over and my hands and arms go numb. I also feel like im gone into my own little world which is good when im at work as work can be stressful, it helps me calm down too. I take 1 or 2 a day
