Default Spasticity......It Hurts! Wah!!!!!
I am having the worst time with spasticity in my lower legs. The muscle in my calf feels like it's about 2 inches long....and supposed to be about 12 inches long!! I'm having to use my cane in the house because I'm limping so badly and my balance is so bad. I usually only use it when I'm out and about. I wall walk and use furniture to help me at home. I've nearly fallen a couple of times but thankfully the wall was there to catch me! I'm taking my Baclofen but even 20 mg 3X a day isn't touching it.

Sorry.....just had to whine a little. I know it will pass. Just not soon enough for me!
