My question pertains to spinal cord injury, muscle spasms and abdominal pain.

I am a 41-year-old male with a C-5/C6 injury for the last 19 years. For the most part I have come to know my body very well and have been doing very good with controlling everything. Over the last couple of years I have started developing abdominal pain which I believe is gas. When I get these discomforting feelings, I become very spastic. Usually by taking some over-the-counter gas pills, it begins to relieve and the gas pains go away.

The last couple of weeks I have had severe pain, major bloating in my spasms about throw me out of bed. If I remain in a sitting position in my wheelchair, I have very little spasms. When I laid down they begin to intensify.

I am taking the maximum amount of baclofen and it seems like it isn't phasing it.

I work 40 hours per week as a database administrator, and the lack of sleep is really affecting my work. I have asked my local doctors, but they say there is nothing else I can take. I am not sure if I believe that, so I am seeking advice from anyone that can give me some help in this area.

Thank you
