Default Spasticity......It Hurts! Wah!!!!!
I am having the worst time with spasticity in my lower legs. The muscle in my calf feels like it's about 2 inches long....and supposed to be about 12 inches long!! I'm having to use my cane in the house because I'm limping so badly and my balance is so bad. I usually only use it when I'm out and about. I wall walk and use furniture to help me at home. I've nearly fallen a couple of times but thankfully the wall was there to catch me! I'm taking my Baclofen but even 20 mg 3X a day isn't touching it.

Sorry.....just had to whine a little. I know it will pass. Just not soon enough for me!

That stinks! Hope you are feeling better soon.

Quick someone bring Kitty some chocolate and a pitcher of margaritas! (I'm telling you it cures everything!, except a cold for that you need honey and Jack)

Owie owie owie!!! I hate spasticity. If it were me, I'd not only be whining. I'd be banging my head against the wall, breaking things, calling my neuro's office every 15 minutes..You get the idea. And I'm normally a pretty quiet, nice person (really!)..I hope you get some relief soon!

Gosh, I do feel for you! Those cramps hurt like nothing else I can describe! Most definitely in the not nice category.

I find Magnesium fixes mine when I get them. My doctor told me to buy plain Magnesium, not a brand that had anything else mixed in with it, so that's what I did and for me it works.

Hoping you don't suffer again tonight with those horrible cramps, but just in case, I'm sending you some hugs........

Heart Sorry you are in so much pain
Oh Kelly, I am SO sorrry to hear that you are in so much pain right now!! I really hope that you can get some relief from your symptoms and start feeling better real soon!

Have you spoken to your Neurologist/Doctor about the Spasticity? Maybe they could up your baclofen dosage? Just a thought as you shouldn't have to deal with any more pain or issues than you do already!

I'm thinking about you and sending many pain-free hugs your way!!!

Kitty, so sorry you're hurting.

I'd beg and plead for more Baclofen. And, I'm going out today to buy some plain Magnesium (thanks, Koala!).

I hope something works, or the spasms just finally fade away.
