I don't know if this is happening to you, but whenever I take muscle relaxants, I have to keep taking them all day. When the pill wears off, the spasms are way worse than before taking the pill. It takes overnight to get this 'rebound' to quit. I also had muscle spasms about 6 weeks out from my surgery, but they eventually got better. Try to relax and be patient. It's so hard to still be in pain, huh? It'll get better though! Like Grizz said, your body is trying to protect itself! Good luck!
