For me it is my left leg from the butt down to the calves that always seems to act up. You would think that will all the spasms in my butt and hamstring, I would have a nice firm butt. LOL.

I do get spasticity in other areas of my body (including my face ) but it is not as constant as my left leg. I have a lot of hyperreflexia in my left arm that I only notice when getting a neuro exam. It's always there but I never feel it.

Hang in there Kelly. Keep taking the baclofen as it is my understanding that taking it on a regular basis is the best.

For me, it is the left side of my rib cage and my left leg, mainly from my knee down through my foot. Occasionally, I will also experience pain in my upper leg. I take 10 mg of baclofen in the morning and another 10 mg in the early evening, and I am not sure it really helps either. My lower back also aches off and on during the day.

Lover back? LOL j/k Barb. All I could think of at 1st was love handles, which can hurt. And, yes, I too get the rib cage pain. Almost constant MS hug to varying degrees.

Kell, I think Trish is right... I remember being told something about Baclofen and blood levels... and that it should be taken regularly, and not PRN (as needed) in order to work properly...

yes, I have "specific areas" of spasticity.

it used to be always my right leg for the last ten years, mainly the calf and foot... my toes stand UP and holler for attention... gentle regular stretching seems to help.

don't want to scare you, but... I've got muscle twangs going on with my left leg, behind my knee, down the calf, and in my foot.

*shudder*

and brand new this week, my left shoulder and forearm are twinging.

not at agony-levels, but just enough to annoy, irritate, and cause me to wince a wee bit.

here's a hug and hopes you're feeling better soon, honey!
