This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

last few days my right calf muscle has been hurting badly. it feels like a pulled muscle? i have had this before, but it only lasted a day or two and then it was gone. also the bottom of my foot feels as if i have stepped on a nail. it feels like a bone spur maybe? anyone else have this before and what do you do?

thanks arti

I don't know about gout? never had it or talked to anyone that has. I just thought it was ms related. Could you get gout in your calf muscle? I thought that was a joint issue? I do have cartlidge floating in this knee from football and calf roping, but that comes and goes and I can tell the difference. Thanks Bob

From what i underwtand Gout is a response to too much uric acid in the system...eat alkaline foods to balance your PH easy for me to say

I always considered myself to have a well balanced diet. Beer, Beer, and Beef.

.

i have the aches and pains too, but it never last this long. anyway i will treat it as gout and lay off the beer and red meat. should get better, just thought i read somewhere on here about calf pain.

good night Bob

btw, when I type your name I always think of that movie "what about Bob" LOL later.

"analspeak"... That is going to be my new word for the week! I Love It!!!

That's my almost constant companion now. It's spasticity in my case. Two muscles both contracting, instead of the one complementing the other that should be relaxing. Baclofen works somewhat, but it makes me so weak I won't take it except right before bed. Stretch A LOT. That's the only non-chemical thing I've found that helps.

yeah, I get that in my back when I sit for any extended period of time in an office chair. Takes me sometime to stand up straight after a couple hours. I found that if I get up and walk around for a second it helps. I don't know about this though? today it seems somewhat better! who freakin knows? It seems like every week it's something new! i hate this shit and I have been in remission for way over a year now.

I hear you brother.

Lew has it Arti. me too, same. only hamstrings. Stretch!!

Arti,

I get this too. Only mine is in my left foot and toes! My husband call it my "Vulcan Toes" (you have to be a Star Trek fan and know the sign Spock did with his hand and made a "V" Live long and prosper). Well my toes do that "V" thing and it hurts bad

I don't know how you stretch your toes??
