I seem to be having a lot of spatiscitty in my legs and feet along withd stinging all over my body. . Have anyone ever had this and what can I do about it?

Sorry - its the curse of having MS. Depending on how severe;
stretching, the muscle relaxers, maybe drinking quinine tonic water. People say magnesium but that's no help for really serious/acute spasticity.

Above all keep moving if you can. Immobility makes it much worse. Massage helps too. Warmth and/or ice. Best to ask your neuro what he/she recommends.

It's tough. I know. Hang in there.

I'm on cymbalta and keppra and it helps. I also found that compression gloves or stockings help. For the spasticity slow stretching, staying well hydrated and hot baths work. I also get frequent massages. When that doesn't work I take a muscle relaxer.

I know the feeling, I went to shooting range with husband and son.....shot some and sat some....came home and cooked a little bacon. My legs hurt so bad I am ready to cry..they are so weak, I cant stand. Any only feels better when I lay down.

I am on Cymbalta and it doesn't help at all
