Just a small vent here and asking for insights.
Yesterday, I felt "off" all day. I wasn't doing too much, just enjoying my Spring Break.
My balance was a little worrisome but I still was doing some spring cleaning and washing curtains.
I had commented to my kids that I kind of felt like I was on a tetter-totter.
Something went wrong on a trip down the stairs with some curtains in my arms.
I don't really know if I tripped, slipped, or just messed up on the steps.
I managed to grabbed the rail and kind of slid down the stairs with my foot underneath me.
I held on to the armful of curtains too!
My daughter monitored my climb up the steps and into the sectional. I spent the better part of the afternoon and evening reclining and icing areas.
My concern in my major increase in spasticity.
I have had terrible spasms that curl my ankles, feet, all the way up. These are usually controlled well by my ITB pump. I ended up taking additional oral baclofen.
Waiting to see if this is just my body's reaction to the excitement or if something was going on in the first place that contributed to my fall.
My questions is: do you think this could be just a psuedo flare brought on by my fall? How long until I can expect it to calm down.
I just got down with3 days of IVSM last Friday.
Thank you for your thoughts.
