So as most of you know I've been whining about spasticity in my legs/back for some time. My legs have awakened me several times during each night; once I stretch them a bit they settle down and I'm okay til the next time...

But this weekend I've not even been able to walk on my left leg after just a few minutes of being on it. The pain level is a 10...DH stretches my leg and after a time it calms down.
But as soon as I get up and begin doing things, it starts up again. It's never in the same place either-sometimes the inside of the tibia, sometimes above the ankle, or the hamstring, or the quad.

I was tempted to go to the ER, fearing a DVT. But DH checked and there's nothing wrong with the leg except the crevices where the muscles are spasming.

I have had very painful short-lived spasms, but nothing like this. I see the neuro tomorrow; but I also am scheduled for my pre-op exam/labs before the knee replacement on my other knee.

If my "good" leg looks this bad tomorrow, I'm afraid that the doc will say "nothing doing" regarding the surgery. But right now I'm not sure how much longer I can handle these occasions of severe pain. I'd rather put off the surgery if my neuro recommends IVSM to reduce this.

Any advice? Info? Has anyone had such severe spasms? These are even pulling my leg towards the other leg, which I've never had happen before.

I'm scared that I will not be able to walk soon
