Is it muscle or tendon, does anyone else have this?

One of toughest things about MS is we always tend to blame every little ache or pain on MS. We have to remember not everything will be attributable to MS. If you have a primary care doctor make an appointment with him/her and have it checked out. You could have unknowingly pulled something. If your doctor tells you everything checks out fine then it could very well be related to MS and in that case a call to your Neuro would be in order. That's what I would do. Good luck!

thanks everyone for the feedback. My nueromuscular Dr. put me on Baclofen.It has greatly reduced these painful spasms. My nuerologist, @Dr.Kovar ordered another brain MRI of which i will get the results in the middle of March

I finally broke down and went in. I don't have a neurologist because mine left my clinic, 1/31/2014. Saturday, after my husband got up, we went to same day clinic. My pain doctor had told me about a neurologist he recommended and I tried to get in to him, but my appt. is for June 2. So, in we went. I was admitted and they did a brain and lumbar MRIs. Nothing Toooo amazing so they put a fentanyl patch on me and started me on some Percocet as needed and some IV pain meds also. PT came and had me go through a set of tests. Then I saw another doctor. When they let me out today, they had decided it was a flare of my Reflective Sympathetic Dystrophy, not my MS. So, I can't drive or work or anything because I have this fentanyl patch on and no one knows how I will react to it. The only thing is, last night and today, I have been talking to the walls and haven't know where I am. Worse than Cog Fog. I am just out there. I have seen some of the e-mails I have sent, and oh boy, they are beyond belief. Well, I better let everyone know I am alive. And, I have to try to shower, it has been a week. It least I really don't sweat and my husband says you really can't tell.

I have had this issue since Sunday. My muscle in the back of my lower right leg is so tight that I am having a hard time walking. And the pain is so intense. I can't take certain muscle relaxers because they affect my kidney function. I have valium, but that isn't touching the pain. I can touch it, and rub it, but that isn't doing any good. It is very swollen. I also can't put my foot on the ground. My neurologist has decided to move on to another clinic, far, far away. I have been referred to a new one, but, my appt. is June 2nd, lol! I guess I will go to urgent care tomorrow. I went to work on Monday for 3 hours, Tuesday all day and otherwise, I have been doing what I can from home. I also have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in that same leg, so, it might also be that. It is so hard to tell between the two. One thing is for sure, I am very lonely and depressed today. I can't shut up if you can't tell. My husband will be home soon and you all will get relief.
