Tingles and tightness.

Dear Group...I've had TM for 19 mo now and am paralized from T5 down.
Since about 3mo after I first came down with TM I have had spasticity
and tightness (feels like I am in a tight corset from midchest down) for
24 hrs but no pain. Then at about 3am the tightness slowly goes away and
the tingling and electric feeling starts, increasing in intensity as the
day progresses. This persists for 24 hrs and then the cycle starts over.
I have a baclofin pump (implanted last Oct ) which has eliminated ths
spasms in my legs and has eased but not eliminated the tingling. My
doctor sees it but can't explain why this happens. Anyone have a
similar pattern? Thoughts on why?
Thanks...PatJ
