Can anyone describe their spasticity in their upper thigh? I was having what I thought was a muscle pull, but it doesn’t want to go away. I feel a sharp pain and then the muscle contracts at the top of my thigh. If I straighten myself up it stops. Mostly happens when I stand up but if I turn wrong I get the pain and pull also. Since it was not going away, it occurred to me that it could be spasticity. I already have the “hug”. Any thoughts appreciated. Know everyone is different.

It sounds like spasticity, Cardgal. I have it all the time in my lower legs. Here's more information about spasticity and treatments for it https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Sy...oms/Spasticity

Hi Cardgal,
I have upper leg spasticity to the point I have knots and it will cause the sciatic nerve (buttocks) to be squeezed (quite painful). I went through Physical Therapy for help and she also did Massage Therapy at each session. I learned stretching exercises to help stretch out the muscles and the use of a tennis ball to massage them.Diagnosed 1984
