I am so sorry to hear that the stiffness is getting worse as so.. This incident most definitely sounds very frightening

Males (especially the healthy ones) don't seem to see the serious side of things sometimes. Like 'no big deal' type of attitude (man oh man do I wish I could be that way ). I know that feeling and it's frustrating. I can't say that I have experienced this issue.. but hopefully it will start to ease up for you rather than worsen. Always a new normal to adapt to with ms.. it's poop if you ask me.
