Have you thought about doing some stretching? I can't stretch myself as I'm paralyzed but when I was in rehab, I foud it helped. I started taking baclofen when my spasms began to worsen over time and found that it helped much better.
Hope this helps, Stacy ----- Original Message ----- From: Todd Tarno<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 2:32 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Spasticity I don't believe that I have had Spasticity. I would have one spasms here or there, but not a lot at one time. What I have found to help with stiffness in my legs is to be laying down, like a bed and have a person stand at the end of the bed. That person but your heal their left hand and pull really hard slowly while they push really hard slowly with their right hand. Your legs may spasms, but won't be bad the rest of the day. This exercise was showed to us, by one of my PT. Billy would do this exercise every morning at 5:00 am before going to work. About five hours later, I would get up and I could tell that I could walk better, than days we didn't stretch out my legs.

Does anyone have any exercises to alleviate the spasticity/stiffiness in the legs? ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
