[|Human|] I am a 58 year old woman. I have a spinal fusion from T2 to S1. T10-12 are no longer fused. I am experiencing major muscle spasms all over my back but the worst is in the thorasic area. These spasms are like huge contractions and stop me in my tracks. I can t breathe during them. They wake me during the night an often prevent my getting to the restroom before an accident. No medication seems to help. After a bout of these cramps I am sore for days. I have noticed I stand bent forward & to the right. what could be causing this? I have an internal spinal chord stimulator, but it seems to make things worse,
