Spasticity means stiffness to the extreme of being rigid and rock-like. If you have multiple sclerosis it is caused by a dysfunction in your central nervous system (in your brain, spinal cord, and/or nerves).
It will make your legs unable to bend or move. It can also affect your arms in same fashion.
Drugs, exercises, may help, but nothing cures MS spasticity.
It is one of the most common symptoms of MS.
