MS and Spasticity

A common but troublesome symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS) is muscle spasticity, or stiffness and spasms, which can make movements awkward. Spasticity most often strikes the muscles needed to keep you standing upright, like those of your feet, groin, thigh, calf and back. Be aware of factors that might aggravate the problem. For example, an untreated bladder infection can contribute to spasticity.
