Since I have been having problems with spasticity and muscle pain, I went to a physiotherapist and she said to me 'you know that MS will shorten your tendons don't you?' to which I replied, with a puzzled look 'really???' and she said 'yes'.

I am not sure if it is an MS thing, or just that the tendons shorten through a reduction in use. I should have asked more questions.

I was so surpised - she noticed that when I am relaxed, my left foot sits a lot lower than my right.


Interesting......
