How did you know you had spasticity? Did your doctor explain to you what it means and why you are suffering from it?

Where do you usually look for information if you wand to learn more about this symptom?

I noticed about 10 years after my diagnosis. My right leg was getting stiffer over time. Now, 30 years after being diagnosed, spasticity and foot drop are the two main symptoms of M.S. that I put up with daily.

I find most of the information I need through the internet.

If I want to try a different drug I discuss it with my G.P. or I email my M.S. nurse.

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
