Hello, I tried posting this over in the limbo category, but can't get it to show up and thought it might be better placed here.
Thanks in in advance for your time and help.
I have several symptoms that I am struggling with, but one in particular i am having trouble describing to my doctors. It involves my muscles and im not sure if spasticity is the right term to use.
My muscles involuntary beccome hard or flexed. I use an analogy if holding something in your hand and squeezing it as hard as you possibly can, the muscles in your forearm become hard and tensed. My muscles do this, except I do not control it, I can't make it start and I can't make it let go or soften.
I think of a spasm as something that contracts and then lets go, so I try to not ever use that term.
Most days, the severity of this hardening increases as the day moves on and by night my muscles are so tight feel like they are pulling my bones together and I am stuff I can barely move at all. I call myself a living statue! I know that sounds crazy, but it's the only way I know how to describe the feeling.
How i.e. would you go about describing this to your doctor?
Thank you for your input.
