My legs ache
My legs ache
and are slightly more spastic than they were before. Do I walk too much (thanks to better stamina after the procedure) ? I walk a lot these days and - because of general fatigue subsided - I seem to ignore when my legs say it's too much and become uncoordinated. Should I be worried? I am a little because of higher spasticity. Yesterday was a tragedy in these terms...
Yes, I'm looking for consolation, but please be honest with me about what you think...

I think the most important thing is while the procedure (hopefully) will stop progression of MS, it doesn't necessarily reverse existing neurological damage. So while you feel like you can push yourself beyond what you could do before, your body still has damage that it deals with and will respond no matter how liberated you may feel.

I deal with this all the time. I know for a fact it's because I'm just doing so much more and often 'take it over the line'. I don't worry about stopping it, for now anyway, as I seem to recover fully by the next day each time I do it. Once your progressive, you really have to stay moving even if it hurts. Normal people may get tight sitting around, but we atrophy. It's so important to keep things stretched and moving so we don't lose them.
Hey,
thanks for the words of comfort. My legs seem to be ok today, so let's hope for the best.
I don't want to start another thread, so I'll just write it here. I checked my iron and ferritin level and it is 75 ug/dl and 63 ug/l, respectively. Which means that neither is out of the line.
Isn't it so that, according to Dr. Z.'s theory, all MSers should have higher ferritin levels?
Rgds,
Adam

So are mine!!! and I had the procedure done last Wednesday [10th of March]
I think they are actually worse then before the procedure and so so spastic when I first get out of bed.
my neck is also weak, top back near skull...
really don't feel so great post procedure.
