Experiencing painful spasms since knee replacement

Please, can anyone help me??
I am 61 Years old and have mild spastic cp on my right side. I initial got diagnosed at 2 year old.
i have had many operations and wore a brace on my leg and hand when I was younger and also had a lot of therapy!!!
i had a knee replacement on my left knee that went well years ago, and recently had my right knee done, every since having the surgery I have had terrible painful spasms in my hamstring muscle & ankle.
I have tried different muscle relaxers through the years with no relief. Valiem is the only med that works but I am up to 15-20 mg a day.
I have heard Botox could possibly help or acupunchure. I have always taken Valiem.
Can someone please respond, I need help!!! Thank you so much!!!

I'm not actually able to offer you any advice on this, but I would recommend that you have a look at our 'Dealing with chronic pain' thread and see if you can pitch into any of the conversations there. It would probably be a good means of introducing yourself to those who know most about what you are going through.
Very warmest best wishes to you,
