Hey All,
Of course I have spasticity and get leg and foot cramps fairly often. I also have flat feet and now in addition to foot drop on my left ankle, I have officially been told I have a contracted Achilles tendon on my left ankle and will have a cast put on next month to stretch it out.
Up until last Saturday, my right leg was fine, that is until I had the absolute worst calve muscle spasm you can imagine! My muscle was like a rock and it was VERY painful. It was a long time before I could hobble on it and then it was only to my recliner for the next 3 days.
I contacted my Primary Care Dr. who ordered labs and my creatine kinase and immature granulocytes are high indicating muscle damage. About this time the bruising started to show and my leg was starting to swell and this was 4 days later. As a precaution they did an ultrasound and no clots.
So now I am waiting to hear if they want to run more tests or have an answer as to why this happened, could spasticity cause a cramp bad enough to tear the muscle? Anyone ever heard of something like this happening? Needless to say I am now a hot mess trying to get around with my AFO with an insert for plantar fasciitis on my left foot and leaning on my cane hobbling with my sore right leg.
Oh Joy!
