Spasticity, oh yeah! I maaaaay know what that’s like. Lol. Good morning beautiful people
-
I’m real glad I found you! Spasticity makes up, at least, 70% of my “struggles”. My neurologist refuses to explain anything to me, and your info is very helpful. Thank u
-
Thank you Dr B. Love the video. More over, love the wooden painting on your wall!!! Very apt for the subject!!
-
My spasticity is definitely worsened when I'm stressed.
-
Great help and explanation! Thank you Doc!
-
Dr. Booster, Your the best. A while back I wrote to say, you make God smile. You are outstanding. I learn alot from your videos, and I pass on the information to newly diagnosed MS people. I reference your lectures/videos. From all of us suffering from this awful disease, thank you! Your new friend Vincent

Great info! Thanks Dr B!
-
Thank you for the in-depth explanation of the common symptom of MS. Very painful. Great job 👌👌👌
-
As always, excellent education. Sharing is caring #WeHaveMS

Thank you so much for this information. You have no idea how your description made much more sense than any information I've received until this video. I've developed 2 ulcers and now I understand how they occurred. I think I may have another UTI so I'm calling my doctor right now. Thanks Dr. B you are the best <3 <3 <3

Always informative. My feet seized up Saturday night. My wonderful son massaged them so I could walk again

Hi Dr. Boster. TYVM for another great Vid-👍format. My pro tip on stretching is that if you are struggling on land to stretch, then try doing your stretches in the pool. This is where I can really give my quads a good stretch without fighting gravity or losing balance. 🙃

Love your videos
-
Thank you, Dr. Boster! Hope Ohio weather treats you well.

Thank you dr. Boster , very helpful 👍. I do have right drop foot and spasticity on my right leg🙁, I stop driving , working and I used AFO but not really helping, stretching is the best but it will knock you down to sleep !
-
Another great video Dr B. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 I'm When I was first diagnosed I was getting spasms every 20 minutes or so . They would only last from 15 to 20 seconds, It was unbelievably horrible. Baclofen fixed it and got rid of my spasms. Thank God

Glad I found this…. I think I have MS ☹️ I have all symtoms , oligoclonal bands in spinalfluid… but I have EDS and fibromyalgia also, so no stretch for me but maybe a slow walk, I struggle with walking 😔
-
Thank you! Spasticity of my right leg is by far my worst MS symptom. I can ignore the others (most of the time) but when your leg is hurting and doesn't want to move....that can really mess up your day.
-
I feel my legs heavy like lead
-
Hi Dr B! Are you able to post a video of what types of simple stretches we can do? Thanks ☺️
