Just reciently I've expierenced something new. My right leg goes completely siff and rigid. My right foot points straight up it last a couple of minutes. Its happened a couple of times this week. Simple partial? something else? Any one else have this issue?
 
hi pita,
I don't but yes this could fit into a symptom of a simple partial; it would fall in the motor category:

Motor seizures:
These cause a change in muscle activity. For example, a person may have abnormal movements such as jerking of a finger or stiffening of part of the body. These movements may spread, either staying on one side of the body (opposite the affected area of the brain) or extending to both sides. Other examples are weakness, which can even affect speech, and coordinated actions such as laughter or hand movements. The person may or may not be aware of these movements.
