How do I know if it’s spasticity or just a leg injury?
Hi, I have RRMS, diagnosed in 2017, last relapse 2021, been on ocrevus since then. Last couple of weeks (immediately following my first UTI in several years) I started getting stuff sore left leg, particularly the muscles at the back of my knee, hamstring mainly causing me to limp (I already had a slight sway!), also my knee swelled up (I also had really severe fatigue, far more than my normal when this started).
I’ve seen the GP and today the neurologist and both dismissed as muscular/skeletal not MS, mainly because of the swelling on the knee. The swelling has gone down mostly but I’ve noticed the more I move/walk the more painful my leg will be the next day.
I contacted MS nurse on Friday as I was concerned this could be a relapse, and consequently saw the neurologist today and for an MRI tomorrow (haven’t done either of these since 2021 which shouldn’t have been the case it seems so partly why it all happened so quick!).
Can anyone relate to this experience or give me any info on how I could identify if the feeling/issue I have could be society it not?
I should add I didn’t fall, trip or otherwise injure my leg to cause any of this.
Thanks
