Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 What all experiences do you guys have with tight muscles? Asenath always had the opposite but I did have some experience with tight muscles in my adopted son Marquis. Due to cocaine inutero he had tremors and tight muscles until he was about 9 months old. But, Zipporrah now has tight muscles due to her stroke episode. She is getting therapy for it and I am massaging and stretching her daily, but sometimes she is so tight and crabby. Her arching is due to muscle tightness we believe now also. She hates to round her back and nursing is harder to do lately too. She does much better when I lay down and she can lay flat on a bed by me. If I nurse sitting, she fights me and is very crabby. Her reflux is getting much better with the Prilosec so I don't think it is that. Her shoulder, neck, arm, back, and hip are all very tight. I am worried about how tight she may get in the future. The therapist has been talking to a physiatrist about Porrah to help know what to do for her. I hope we don't need to start going to get muscle relaxant injections. But I not want contractures either. We do see some fluxuations of tightness in her Times of the day and her attitude really affect this. Any help is apprecaited. I'd love to hear others' experiences with this issue. Darla: mommy to Asenath, Zipporrah, and the gangGet more from the Web.
