Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. After 6 years of RR MS I have developed spasticity in my left leg. I am having a great deal of trouble walking because of it.
Some days are better than others.
I know there are medications to help with this. How much do the medications help and which one do you feel is most effective. Thank you for your time. Medications such as baclofen and zanaflex can help reduce the muscle tone of spasticity. One must be careful, though, because if you reduce it too much, walking can be actually harder.
