Guest guest Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Thank you Dolores very much, I think that right now I have an increased muscle tone and I will take off one neurontin a day Moshe Re: QUESTION and Moshe, As I understand them, spasticity is a continuous contraction of a voluntary muscle causing stiffness and tightness and is usually caused by damage to brain cells or cells in the spinal cord. Symptoms of spasticity include: muscle spasms (involuntary contraction of muscle fibers; the spasms may be clonic in which muscles contract and relax alternately in quick succession or tonic in which the muscles contract in a steady state for prolonged periods), increased muscle tone, hyperreflexitivity, fixed joints (for example, " frozen shoulder " ) and clonus (rapid alternating contractions and relaxations of a muscle. There is a fine line between the above, but technically, clonus and spasms are symptoms of the broader topic " spasticity " .
