Question: does fibro cause spasticity-severe enough to cause a 12 degree bend in the knee joint?
I was dxd with fibro in the mid 80s and have had few flares in the past decade. I was dxd with MS in late 08 after a few years of increasing sxs.
I had knee replacement surgery 8 weeks ago…the narcotics worked on the pain from spasms and the surgical site, but then I had a severe flare of fibro that continues to this day; I also had a flareup of MS sxs.
The narcotics did nothing for the fibro pain. I discontinued the narcotics several weeks ago, and my joints and muscles are feeling that old familiar ripping feeling of fibro.
Just wondering if the spasms are from MS or from fibro...
