@A MyMSTeam Member > My muscles are seizing so bad in my legs...
As my neurologist is fond of telling me, "eat more Baclofen." FWIW, Baclofen has a certain FDA limit but neurologists *routinely* prescribe way over that limit.
> but what can I do for the pain and muscle spasms?
I have the same issues. :-( There are a number of drugs available for MS-type pain, and some strains of medical marijuana also help.
IMO the key is stretching and exercise. Stretch "towards" the pain, when encountering stiffness/pain hold that position for 20-30 seconds, then relax for a few seconds and do it again. You'll find the new stiffness/pain "location" will typically have moved a bit. I often find that after doing that I then feel both more limber and have less pain/issues.
Even when you don't feel like exercising you can do a poor man's substitute exercise by tightening a muscle, holding it tight for 10secs or so, and then relaxing and doing it again. But walking and doing actual exercises (standing calf raises and all sorts of simple leg exercises) helps -- even though they're a PITA.
IMO it's all part of "fighting the good fight" against this damned disease.
I'm Elizabeth, was diagnosed when I was 18; now feel so alone, I got no friends at all. Feel sad, I got a kid 10 years old. I'm a single mother.
Like @A MyMSTeam Member I too am a fan of his videos and recommend them often. One person I recommended him to, @A MyMSTeam Member, contacted him and became a patient and was quite impressed.
Hello welcome please know that you are not alone 🙏🏼🕊️
I'm having a rough time...My muscles are seizing so bad in my legs...I had a CT Scan done in the hospital 2017 & I found the MS or Lyme Disease well it wasn't Lyme disease...They never mentioned it to me Thank God I had been a nurse and read the reports it was over two years because my PCP said it was nothing but I insisted that I go to a Neurologist and now I understand why I was shaking all the time now I'm having trouble walking... I'm on Mirapex and Baclofen right now...
But I'm going to see another Neurologist my Neurologist can't seem to understand why things aren't getting any better...
Sorry to rattle on but what can I do for the pain and muscle spasms?
