Merry Christmas.
Just a quick post to announce my new years resolutions. In 2011 I'm resolving to spend more time streching my leg muscles and concentrating on my posture.
Cheers!
This blog records my journey to Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP, also known as Familial Spastic Paraparesis or FSP). I was diagnosed with SPG4 in 2009 when my wife became pregnant with our first child. I currently wear insoles, do daily stretches and weekly Pilates. I take medication for my bladder. I tweet about HSP, RareDisease and other things @munkee74.

Symptoms Update (tense leg muscles)
OK, so I've noticed over the last few weeks that when I stand still the muscles in the top half of my leg are tense, and I have to actively relax them.
I dont know if this is an HSP/FSP symptom or not, but it is different, and thought I'd mention it.
I notice this the most when I am standing still straight after walking, for example when I arrive at the kitchen to make a cup of tea at work.
Of course, I may notice this more and perhaps I can relax my muscles because I've been doing Pilates for a while now. I'd welcome any opinions on this.
