Kelley,
I mainly use 10mg (blue) Valiums for the spasms and Codeine, occasionally, if the pain is too great. I don't take more than 30 codiene a year and less then 200 Valium in a year. I am prescibed to take 1 Valium a day for sleep, but I don't always.

I can't take Vicodin because of my liver issues.

They did offer Botox as an alternative but I am saving that option if it gets more unmanageable.
