Note from Carl: I'm looking for advice on how to deal with lower back spasms. I was diagnosed 3 years ago, and my recipe of meds treats PD symptoms pretty well, but recently - like this morning - I wake up with lower back spasms so severe I can barely move and every movement is painful. So far I have had recommended, but haven't been disciplined enough to follow, a sequence of Yoga back stretches. I also use over the counter pain relief pills when these spasms hit hard. Both of these help. Does anyone have anything to share beyond this? Thanks. Peace.
