    Another Spasticity Question

    Is it possible to have spacticity not only in my leg but also my hip and lower back? I usually hear about it being in the extremities, but when I walk I get pain, stiffness, and tightness all over from my foot all the way up to my lower back.

    Think I might get foot drop too. When I stand or walk for too long, my leg goes numb and I can't bend my knee or ankle and I have to drag my leg until I get the feeling back. Is that foot drop?

    Yes, you can have Spasticity in any muscle/joint. Foot Drop is when the toe/ball of your foot does not raise when you walk, hence the Drop. It can be much worse when you are fatigued, as everything is.

      I have spasticity pretty much everywhere - my back is the most painful. I really hate the back.
