question about spasticity

by monotreme, Dec 13, 2007 11:53AM
Last night I was having back pain and spasms at T12 again and also having foot spasms.  My wife went to pick up my leg (can't do it myself) and she had a hard time trying to straighten my leg.  it was stiff.

Yesterday afternoon I had noticed that my knees weren't bending when I walked.

Is this all called spasticity in the legs??
Thanks
Craig

Essie has asked that I explain muscle tone and how it is evaluated.  It's on my list for tonight or tomorrow, for what that is worth.  I'll answer your questions in that discussion.  Quix
