Someone help me !!! Is this Spasticity???- I’ve had this before but the last 5 days it’s unbearable.
When I’m relaxed and doing nothing, my muscles in my legs and my arms feel like I need to tense them as hard as I possibly can, to try get the feeling to go away. that’s the only way I can explain it, I feel like I have to tense all my limbs as hard as I possibly possibly can, and even then the feeling doesn’t go away. It’s killing me. I feel like I want my arms and legs tied up and to be stretched and squeezed as tight as possible 
what ever this is it’s killing me
Hello there. Have you spoken with your MS Nurse? She/he might be able to help . I think Baclofen is prescribed for muscle spasm, cramping and the like. I get some tightness etc but so far have managed with stretching exercises. Your MS nurse might arrange for physio therapy although I think there are long waiting lists.
Have you tried magnesium spray?
No I haven’t tried anything yet - I just wanted to know if this was normal for MS and if anyone else experiences it. Because from what I can gather - spasticity is when your limbs are stiff?? My limbs are not stiff at all. I can move them fine , it’s just the weird aching and crazy crazy strong urge to tense the muscles to find some relief
Does what I’m describing sounds familiar?
Not quite sure. Sometimes I do just have to move my legs especially when sitting for a while, and sometimes at night in bed I get sort of ‘restless legs’ when I just have to move them around. So yes, maybe to some extent though it’s not often
