Spasm

What works, sort of:

• lying flat on the floor with the freedom to bend into whatever shape necessary.
• being propped to allow some bending but not a complete pretzeling.
• Norah Jones, Matt Redman, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
• being held and rocked and hummed to.
• having wrists and ankles rubbed.
• lying "bums up" across my lap having her back patted.
• having enough time for the meds to kick in and then to take it very slowly getting dressed.
• being lifted instead of hoisted.
• round the clock pain relief and diazepam, with a side order of chloral hydrate.
• lying on a duvet in the flowerbed (the only bit of the garden with deep shade).
• lying in bed with a fan.
• going out to see anyone who might be able to help (this seems to produce a big relaxation, just long enough to make me look a completely overprotective fool).
• being vented more often than usual.

Notice any similarities there? Which seems to leave me with leaving her in the flowerbed. And whilst that's tempting I'm not sure it's a long term solution. And it's supposed to rain tonight, which seems a little harsh.
