My right leg (the one I fell on) is sore again today, but all the pain I felt last night from what I'm assuming was spasticity isnt bugging me right now.

It's weird. I thought spasticity would be an all-the-time thing, but it seems to change about as often as the weather does here. I still have some weird pain in my ribcage (that started up a few hours ago again) At least most of the other pain doesnt seem to be bugging me yet today.

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow or the next day (depending on how much longer it's going to snow) and see if he can figure out if I did more damage than was thought to my right leg when I fell down the stairs. When I fell, I felt my tibia hit the femur where they meet at the knee (I think those are the names of the bones) and that's where most of the sore-ness is coming from...I might ask for an x-ray to see if I cracked or chipped something there. (I dont want anything torn there...ligament and tendon tears take forever to heal...I'd rather have a broken bone)

When I go to my neuro in 3 months, I'm going to have him do the EMG he suggested on my arms...see if my carpal tunnel syndrome is back. My hands hurt at night, and they go numb while I'm sleeping, both of which are symptoms of CTS and it feels just like it did when I had surgery on one of my arms in the early 90's. I want to make sure it's the carpal tunnel, and not some funky MS thing going on.
