Suffering from muscle spasms 2 years after tummy tuck revision. What are my options?

MarlayMar 1, 2023
Mommy make over in 2017, everything healed well, felt great other than the swelling? on one side would not go away but no pain. Would need another surgery to fix it. Got second opinion, same needed surgery. Had surgery in 2020 with second dr. and have had severe spams every since. They are so excruciating they put me on the floor, like drop to me knees. Dr. only wants to keep prescribing muscle relaxers and pain meds. i do not want to take pills for the rest of my life. Please help!
