Spasticity in arms
Hi! I am currently in a relapse and the spasticity is killing me! I have in in both my legs and arms. I have never had it in my arms before. How do I handle it? I am taking baclofen and it is helping some, but my biceps hurt so bad.
Any advice?
Have you tried epsom salts? You can either add a half cup to the bath (or more, but a friend thinks she "overdosed" herself by putting way too much in the bath) or you can make a paste and rub it on the area of pain.
Pickle juice seems to help too, but I realize some people can't stand pickles.
Maybe this is terrible advice. I just felt bad because I saw no one had replied yet.
Thanks so much for sharing. We appreciate you chiming in. ~Doreen (Team Member)
