Hello MS family. In October I started to stiffen up and started this strange stretching tension thing. Now my bum and lower back have really stiffened up, which is strange as I am one of the lucky ones to still be mobile. On a positive when I stretch so much it’s gaining muscle but hurts and I walk like a robot. They have placed me on some anti spasmodics but wondered if any of you have experienced this as well?
Ooh and has anyone tried acupuncture? Does it help.
Thank you and take care all
Hi, All I can say is that my legs have stiffened a lot in the last year and walk like a robot! When I try and stretch my legs, they go into a weird spasm and repeatedly kick like a rabbit! In fact all my limbs do this when I stretch.
I haven’t tried acupuncture but I did find massage helpful for a couple of days.
Still just about mobile but don’t leave the house anymore. I’ve got Baclofen for the spasticity.
Take care.
Thank you for your reply Andy. It does help to know this is something people experience. Massage is a great therapy, I’ll update you on the acupuncture if I get some. Take good care
