Spasticity
Spasticity is the feeling of pain and stiffness in a variety of muscle groups. During the early stages of multiple sclerosis, you might experience mild or severe conditions, often in legs. It can also cause tightness around and in joints, which eventually leads to low back pain. Spasticity might be worsened by sudden position changes or movements, infections, or extremes of humidity, temperature. These symptoms can be treated by occupational and physical therapy or medication to prevent disabling and painful contractures in ankles, knees, elbows, shoulders, or hips. [4]
