Prior to now, my only problem with spasticity had been the occasional wicked feet or toe cramps. However now for the past few months, I have had increasing stiffness when moving from a still position to standing/walking. I notice it most getting up from meals, or when on sofa w/ feet up on the ottoman for a while. When I make the move to standing, my feet are very stiff and it takes me more than a few steps to work out the stiffness/get to a normal gait. Is this the beginning of increased spasticity?
Did others start out in this pattern? Did you not progress to further spasticity or did you get worse? I'm realizing that I need to move more often and move my feet under the table while eating and stretch/move while on the sofa- does anything else help? I'd sort of like to stay away from adding a new med if there are other things I can do instead.
