How long have you been on 3.5 mg consistently now, and when did the knots start? Are the knots a daily thing, or intermittent? You are SPMS, right?

I do think it is a good idea that you talk to Skip. I know a handful of people go through 2 - 3 of months of side-effects (kinda' like "re-wiring"), but I think my concern would be whether this is a new symptom for you. If this is spasticity, have you had that before?

Are you stretching daily, with a routine?
