Botox shots in legs for spasticity
Yesterday I went for my every three months of Botox shots in both my legs for
spasticity
. I get a total of 14 shots. It really does help for the stiffness in my legs and foot drop. Has anyone else had this done?

What medicines do you all take for fatigue and spasticity?
Hello everybody, first post. Hopefully not the last. I have lived ten years with AMN. I had my VLCFA test to prove it. What can I say? It is a long, slow decline. Slow. At least it is slow. At first I took no medicine, I just had foot drop. Tripped up from time to time, then my walking got

Muscle spasticity and FND
Does anyone have any experience of episodic
spasticity
in their legs? I've been diagnosed with FND but I'm not convinced as it was diagnosed after a ten minute phone conversation and a video I sent in of my gait. I've had an MRI of my head and cervical spine which were normal.

What does spasticity have to do with tremor?
Fancy, full-color five-page pamphlet on Botox never mentions tremor.

Need Information from People Who Use Baclofen
I am experiencing increased muscle fatigue, stiffness, and
spasticity
. If anyone has experience with Baclofen, I would appreciate any information you can give. I take no meds now and really hate to start, but if I could be less spastic and stiff, I will take them.

MS Awareness Month 2021: The Importance of Sleep
Addressing stiffness and
spasticity
or reducing the amount of trips to the bathroom at night can go a long way in improving sleep quality. Identify sources of stress and anxiety and work with a provider to address them.

Reefer Madness!!!
Did nothing special for my
spasticity
, though I watched two seasons of The Crown in two days. Watched a good chunk of The Walking Dead as well. Felt good, very good. Nice to take a medicine with good side-effects for a change. I don't like smoking though.

Controlling Spasticity following Spinal Injury
When it is,
spasticity
is more severe. It can be reduced by opening my jacket to let out the hot air. As I cool down,
spasticity
invariably reduces. Overheating usually follows a meal, even if only comprising one medium sized course: so my
spasticity
is usually worse in the evenings.

Consequences of a Spinal Injury
An accident in 2013 left me with a spinal injury at C4/5 causing paralysis and very limited sensation from my chest down, severe
spasticity
(muscle contractions and involuntary movements especially in my legs) and double incontinence.

Performance enhancing drugs.
I'm talking specifically about
spasticity
and muscle strength here. Endurance. Walking, balance, etc Next, modafinil (banned by the IOC). Very good for my
spasticity
, the ability to focus on walking. Commit to a route, stick to it. Modafinil is excellent.

Spasticity?
Has anyone noticed with any kind of injury to your legs that the
spasticity
increases? I have a couple of scraped up knees, a sprained ankle, and banged up toe from a fall.

Urine output
In 2013 I had an accident causing spinal injury, paralysis below my chest,
spasticity
and double incontinence. That has resulted in me having a suprabubic catheter with leg bag (750ml) and night bag (2,000ml) attached to my leg bag overnight.

Chronic fatigue for ladies with AMN/ALD
I have a lot of
spasticity
and muscle cramping but can't take baclofen. I'm told the fatigue is a typical problem with MS.
