I may sound totally ignorant here, b/c I do not have MS, I have MG, but when my meds, etc., caused terrible muscle spasms, my neuro recommended potassium. Again, I do not know a whole lot about MS, but am hoping that (maybe) this will help!

Did your neuro want to do a doppler on your leg? When I had my calf problems, he was worried about blood clots and made me go in that day............

Hope this helps!
Take care!:D

Same here. It may get up to 65, but my bones are saying it's October, and it's cold out there somewhere.



Erin - that's not a bad idea, potassium.

I think you're right about stuff catching up with you. If you don't want to go back up on the meds, can you try cinamon or ginger? Once I get to my med limit if I still have problems, I'll do one or the other of those and they help.

Good luck.

OUCH FG!!!!

I get leg cramps/spasms in my R leg and they are so painful, but I've never had bruising. Please don't mess around and self DX yourself. I say, Get thyself to the Dr if it's not considerably better in the morn.

SMACK!

tovaxin_lab_rat 10-20-2008 09:47 AM

No cramps last night. Leg is still very sore from the previous two nights and I am not going into the shop today. Yes, you all heard that right. :p
