It may not be spasticity that you have to live with, but if it is caused by the LDN, t may be that you adapt in a few weeks or months. Personally, I would:

1. Try the stretching routine first, for about two weeks.

2. If that doesn't work, drop the LDN down to where the spasticity (perhaps) stops.

3. Once you are stable on that dosage for about 3 weeks, try slowly increasing the dosage again (at .5mg intervals, if possible).

I had horrible spasticity pain before LDN, and it took it away completely. I have had short periods (a few weeks) where it's come back and I start up the stretching again, but NOTHING like what I lived with every day for the 2 yrs prior to LDN.

Cherie

It did go away for about 5 days back in August while on vacation. I was on 4.5 at that time. When it returned, I dropped back to 3.0. I've been back on 3.0 for about 2 months now and it still presents itself. Perhaps I need permanent vacations

I'll try stretching and then experiment with dosage.
