Spasticity

Hi all Stumnler don't shout at me lol I was wondering how spasticity if it's what I am experiencing, develops? Does it stay mild for some people? Does it come and go? Does it flare up and can it be part of a relapse or something that occurs alongside the disease? Any experience anyone?

Does anyone take anything or do anything for spasticity. I take 1 muscle relaxer in the morning and 1 at night. My right ankle stiffs up. I do my stretching in the morning but later around noon time my ankle stiffs up again.

Spasticity?

The past couple of nights, I have woken with my bicep hurting. Felt tight. Not really a cramp. It felt like I couldn’t extend my arm. Is that “spasticity”? Sincerely, New to this stuff
