Trouble With Leg Spasticity
Posted: 08-15-07 14:40pm

I am having problems with the muscles in my left leg "tightening" and it is causing me severe discomfort. I take a very mild muscle relaxer now; but it no longer helps. I can't get me neurologist to do anything else for me. I have tried stretching (which helps only for a moment), sports cream, and even a heating pad. Nothing is helping. I can't even get a good night's sleep because of this.

Does anyone have advice on something else I can try? Thanks - T
