Happy New Year, everyone! I haven't posted in a while, but I visit quite often, and I've gotten a lot of help (and strength) from the posts here!

I wanted to ask: Does anyone here suffer from spasticity in their knee?

I was diagnosed with MS in 2008, and my main problems with spasticity occurred some years ago in my hands. Since then, I haven't really any spasticity problems except for regular--and annoying!--foot cramps.

In recent months, however, I get spells where my right knee feels incredibly wobbly--as if the knee cap were floating or getting detached--and then I have severe pain when trying to bend my knee. This lasts for several days, and during that time it can get so bad that I can't walk.

Bending or stretching the knee out hurts and is difficult to do. I've never had an injury or arthritis there, so I'm wondering if this is another episode of spasticity. I've Googled "knee spasticity" and apparently there is such a beast!

I'd love to hear if anyone else out there has had this--and if so, what do you do for it? Thanks, everybody!
