Default Are fatigue and spasticity forever?

Does the fatigue and spasticity stick around forever once you get them, or are they symptoms that remit occasionally??

My feet, especially the big toe, and legs are so sore tonight that walking is painful right now.

My big toe has hurt me for years...since I was young (early teenage years) I was told in 2001 when I ruptured my achilles tendon that the sore toe was arthritis. It's getting worse the older I get.

My toe actually feels like it's broken sometimes. I'm thinking of having my doctor check me for gout, and possibly I might ask for a rheumatoid test (had one in 2001 when I hurt my ankle...that doctor was wondering about sore spots I had in the joints of a couple of my fingers) The rheumatoid test was negative then. But, I have a relative with rheumatoid arthritis. I know some autoimmune diseases like to double up on a person sometimes.

When I worked and had to be on my feet all the time, my feet were so sore at the end of the day. I actually wonder if the ruptured achilles could have been from spasticity.
