Yesterday I "overwalked" at a school event for my son. I paid for it last night and today with seized up thigh muscles that hurt.
I've read other posts on MS about this happening, muscle pain and cramping after use. Do you simply take tylenol? Ice? ....A hot bath? <--

I take Baclofen to help with this. This happens usually at night....I guess because I've used my legs all day......especially in my left leg. It's like the muscles flex and relax all on their own.
I just take one 10mg pill before I go to bed and that seems to be sufficient. I guess I will up the dose if it gets worse. A hot bath would be wonderful except I cannot handle the heat.

A few months ago I was at a spa where they had these two plunge pools, hot vs cold. I think I was the only one who could stay peacefully in the cold pool, and just breath into it. It was wonderful. (the men went running out of there as fast as they could!)

i have a lot of muscle pain.
besides medication what especially helps me is heat. on and off is the best. too much for too long can dry muscles out.

A 20 minute soak in warm bath with 2-4 cups of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate), sometimes with a bit of gentle stretching afterwards often helps for me. The magnesium is absorbed through the pores in the skin so it helps to relax the muscles. Watch out that the bath water isn't too hot though as sometimes the heat can make MS symptoms worse.
Hope that you feel better soon. |
