Do your legs never spasm? They seem to be flaccid all time!

[@QuadLife101]

Yeah, I don't experience them as much when I'm sitting down and transferring, though I do occasionally get a bit of clonus spasms. They occur more frequently when I'm going from sitting to lying down, probably due to the hip flexor stretch reflex being triggered. I also get a lot of spasms when I flip over in bed, after sitting for a long time, and sometimes when I need to go pee. Hope this makes sense!

I'm a big dude, c7. My problem usually is when im done i can't get my pants on to slide back in my chair.

[@QuadLife101]

That makes two of us. I’m C5 but present like a C7. Tried to put my pants back on on my chair, but can’t do it. I have to usually get on a bed or flatter surface, where I can lie down to be able to put them back on. Can take them off on my chair, but cannot put them on… Yet anyways.
