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?

Spasticity?

My calf’s feel like they are cramped for half a day. Is this mild spasticity? Luckily it is not painful, just I am aware of it. It feels like the day after a long run. Can spasticity be mild, or is it always painful and uncomfortable 🤷‍♀️. Thanks 🙏.
