I had a general check-up 5 weeks ago and all of my reflexes were graded 2+. No strength abnormalities.
However, today I was working on my homework and I felt my right calf muscle contract lightly even though I did not do anything with it. I read that spasticity is abnormal, uncontrolled contractions of the muscle. But is there anything more to it?
I had a friend check my patellar reflexes, and my legs barely reacted to it. It felt dull. Is this part of spinal shock? Where people become weak before becoming brisk??

Is spasticity overtly noticeable? Such as that in PLS or ALS? Can one develop either of these in a month's time?
