Extreme Foot pain and spasms

Hello Lovely People.... I have RRMS, late diagnosis at 55, after 20 years of misdiagnosis. I’m on Tecfidera. I am experiencing more and disabling issues. I have to use walking sticks and by the end of the day, a mobility scooter. I have extreme pain in both feet, some evening spasms and string electric shock pain. Just started Baclofen. Anyone else suffer from painful feet? They feel like they’ve been hit by a hammer on my soles.. Really hope you guys are all staying safe. Despite things I am grateful for every day and find ways to feel helpful to others. I am so so grateful for my wonderful partner who has retired early to look after me 🙏💚

@birdi I have the benefit of never feeling pain; just discomfort. A perfect example is when I fell off a swing as a young teenager; my left arm bent backward. I walked home, showed it to my Mother; she took me to the hospital. I only started crying when they told me my baseball season was over... LOL Having said that, I did buy walking sticks during the winter. Thanks to the warmer weather, I don't need them now. Yet the muscles in my legs cramp up when I sleep; my wife loves it when I scream in the middle of the night. Getting up in the morning is a lot of fun; bladder challenges mean I need the toilet in 30 seconds or less. Yet when I get out of bed my feet don't work properly; and my legs cramp up. This MS journey has a lot of unique things... And yes, having a great partner makes the journey a lot more enjoyable!

Baclofen is a lifesaver for RLS. I actually heard about it from my dad. He had RLS. I’ve been on it for 12 yrs now.... I can tell if I miss a dose, levels aren’t maintained. Good luck in whatever you try.
