Judy - I do those stretches every day, sometimes more than once. It does help. I use the wall though. Somedays I can do a larger stretch and others just a short one.

How are you doing, Lynn? Is it getting any better?

I think it is easing off a little, but definitely still there - esp when I have been walking a while, taken a break and then try to start again.

I am doing the stretches that NurseNancy suggested - they do provide some relief.

Thanks

Lyn

BTW the NMSS has stretches for MS patients on it's website. My neuro's nurse had it printed up and passed it out to us at one of his lectures...very, very helpful-when I remember to do them

Ok, so now it has advanced right up my left leg, first my calf, then to the back of my knee, and now I can really feel it in the back of my thigh as well. It has gotten worse over a period of a few weeks. Anyone else??? I don't know whether to go and see a general practitioner (think a lot of you call it a PCP) or whether to call my neuro, since I am now three-and-a-half years on Tysabi.

They live a long way apart and to be honest, the thought of explaining all this to yet another GP doesn't thrill me. I will have to put up with stupid comments like 'So, what makes you think you have MS? ....' - which I was asked nearly 10 years after my RRMS D'x. Having said that, I don't want to call my Neuro in case it is something really simple and not MS related. I am so paranoid about being labelled a hypochondriac!

So, if this has happened to you, please tell me!

Thanks

Personally, I ALWAYS vote for the most cautious choice. I'd rather go see my neuro than wish I had six weeks later.

I would give your neuro a call and see what they have to say, especially since it is progressing up your leg. And, yes, I have experienced that as well.

Ditto...sounds like you are having spasticity issues...your neuro is the first place to call, IMO...
let us know-keep us updated.
