Update 08Sep2023: I think ive narrowed down my issue to muscles in legs getting stiff after the 4 mins of jogging. can anyone else confirm they have similar issue and is it an MS symptom?
Hard to describe the sensation accuratley, but it feels like my calves and thighs fill up with treacle until “full up” then i cant jog but can walk, the pain is not too bad (bit of grumbling when walking up stairs after) but will then have stiff legs for next 2 days. After attempting more exercise for the last 5 years i have noticed that i can jog for a little longer (maybe 30seconds longer) but the stiffness lasts for an extra day after.
This was an issue before i started Tecfidera and has not got worse or better since starting. I have tried yoga/stretches/sauna/jacuzzi/ice bath/massage none doing anything other than feeling quite nice during but not after.
Anyone got treatment suggestions?
Here is my original post: Nov 2018: Recentlyish diagnosed- I have been trying to get back into doing sports and football type team games are a good way to socialise. I (think) im relatively fit and go to gym most days. But I dont have stamina for more than 15 minutes run or 4 minutes of football. This is “ok” at the football because is five-a-side fairly relaxed and a lot of the other teams are pretty bad.
I was just wondering if anyone had stumbled upon anything that helped them with a boost of energy for sports games?
Lucozade seems good but there’s only so much of that you can drink during a match.
I have also tried some of the Iso energy Gels instead (after seeing players sucking on those pouches during world cup) and that seems pretty good too.
