It is normal. Some days ur more limber and weaker than others. The spasticity wont change much. I find that if I rest alittle more often, it doesnt happen as much either. Ur body cant really control that unfortunatley. Talk 2 ur Neuro bout it n c if she can give u a med. I take Baclofen n its seems to help alot. Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

A great stretch for your feet, that I found helps, is to stand on a tennis ball. I place it under the ball of my foot and in the pocket of my arch. I also found that rolling over an exercise tube in the hip flexer area helps open my hips. I also lie on a bench or bed with my tush at the end and extend my leg out and down. I agree that staying flexible helps tremendously. And I try to stretch daily. The more limber I stay the better I feel.

I can't stretch at all anymore or it hurts. Especially the left side. I used to do yoga... kickboxing, kung fu. Sigh. I have a yoga DVD gathering dust because I can't even stand with my feet together without losing my balance and falling over. I don't know how you guys do it... I'm as stiff as a piece of driftwood.

If you're not heat sensitive, have you tried hot yoga? I can't really balance well, but the positions I can do, the heat really helps my body to push further than it normally would be able to

I'm trying to keep up with my level of sport, but finding it hard now as it's particular days at set times. While that's good for motivation, if I have to miss it due to my leg not wanting to play fair, I can't reschedule the session.

I desperately need to get into a routine of working out at home where I can control the day and time, according to what suits.

I've done Bikram (hot) yoga and loved it. The only thing I would say is that if you're not used to yoga, be very careful about it. The heat of the room lulls you into a false sense of flexibility and it's incredibly easy to overdo it. If you're careful, it's very good.

Good luck with keeping up the exercise.

thanks to all of you for the suggestions and support. i have not tried yoga yet but the gym offers it, i will look into it. i love the water jogging, too. i feel like i can actually run again when i am in the pool. one of my goals is to run again someday. Tail chasing or wet dreaming... whatever... its one of my dreams and goals now. life sure changed for me when i had my major attack that finally diagnosed me with this MeSs. Thanks again to all and my support to all of you's too. :)
