My leg is beginning to draw up at night. it gets really tight then wants to lift up. i guess my spasms are getting worse. does anybody else have this?

Muscle relaxers will help with this too...... Ask the Doctors about Tizandine or some othere drug for this trouble. Sure helps me !!

Yes, really bad, and it's painful, I used to take Baclofen for my spasticity, which is what that is...

i got a script for this which i have not filled yet.

you may want to try stretching off and on throughout the day and an hour before bedtime.

always stretch before getting out of bed. that's for your own safety...

Talk to your neuro, leg issues were what got me dx'd. Your neuro should address this. Best wishes...........
