Tardive dystonia, BACK PAIN, input?????

Posted by Phil on April 25, 2013, at 19:09:32

So, I lean to the left, I'm doing it right now. Pisa Syndrome is leaning to one side courtesy of antipsychotics.
An even bigger problem that's developed is my lower right back, doing almost anything, cramps like hell. I just washed a few dishes and had to stop several time to manipulate the pain away.
Never had back problems so does this sound like one side of the body trying to compensate?
I can't take this anymore. More on Pisa below.
Symptoms

The predominant symptom of Pisa syndrome is dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contraction leading to abnormal posture, twisting, and repetitive movement. In Pisa Syndrome specifically there is commonly a tonic flexion of the trunk of the body to one side, leading to a slight lean (reminiscent of the leaning tower of pisa, hence the name "Pisa syndrome"). This is usually associated with a backward axial, rotation of the spine and indifferent to markedly abnormal posture. Patients diagnosed with Pisa Syndrome usually experience either acute dystonia or tardive dystonia, also known as tardive dyskinesia. Differential diagnosis between the two may be hard to accomplish without a complete patient history, since both types of dystonia may occur simultaneously in a patient. These symptoms generally disappear after discontinuation of the antipsychotic drug. The time of onset of symptoms may vary depending on drug being administered and the neurological characteristics of the patient in question.
