What does spasticity and stiffness feel like for you guys and what helps? Please give me specifics if possible.
Thanks guys your answers have helped. I was trying to differentiate to see if it was arthritis or spasticity. What you guys described is exactly what I feel.
It goes from ankles to my feet. I look like a zombie walking when I first get up in the morning and after sitting for a while. Sometimes in the night my feet will cramp like a charlie horse. Sometimes one sometimes both and I try and get up to walk it out or just put pressure on them to try and release the muscles that are spasming.
I know it's not the arthritis because what I take for it doesnt help it at all!
I do have Baclofen 10mg. My neuro gave me months ago when I felt I was having the Ms hug. When I take it I noticed that it does help. But I can't take it at night. I found it keeps me awake.
Thanks again for your imput. If you have any more examples please keep them coming as this is a new symptom for me.You guys always come through and quickly!!!
GOD BLESS!
I take Baclofen 20mg 4 times a day. The big issue I have with my legs is the stiffness which caused my legs to ache and I noticed that if I didn't have shoes on my toes pointed straight. They are so much better since I started the Baclofen.
I take Baclofen for that, I have for years...Good luck to you :)
Like you try to move your legs but the muscles and ligaments so it had to extend your leg out from a bent position.
I take 40 mg of. baclofen 3 times a day For the muscle stiffnes. If I don'. my lower half Is stiff like my legs won't Move. Like two broomsticks and I Cant bend my knees
