@A MyMSTeam Member Yoga, exercise, deep breathing, and some prescriptions all help with spasticity.
oh yes definitely MS. I have the same problems .i try and do yoga poses. The deep breathing helps
@A MyMSTeam Member It could be MS related. Talk with a neurologist about a possible prescription relief. There are standard prescriptions that can help with spasticity, very often present in MS.
I have the same problem. Put me in the ER a few times. They told me spasms too but they said it could be from MS or not. Spasms are a big part of MS. Physical therapy on my neck and back have helped me a great deal. I started very slow and worked my up and continue to keep it up(easier said than done:). Good luck to you. I wish I had good advice to help you in the short run.
MS...I vote for MS...get muscle relaxants to help them go away. So sorry
