Do you have any Ibuprofen? This will reduce pain as well as inflammation. In the meantime, moist heat is the best thing for a spasm. Hit the shower girl!
If the source of your pain is swollen, then the heat isn't going to help. You need to ice it in ten minute intervals. Ten minutes off, ten minutes on.

I hope you feel better soon!

I have use heating pads alternating with ice and that helps. I also took b12 and vitamin c. My daughter puts her elbow in the middle of the spasm and sometimes that forces that muscle to relax.

I almost died the last time I took Asprin, and was told not to take Ibuprofen because it would have the same reaction. I just took a hot, hot shower, that did help some.

Wow, I almost thought I wrote this one myself. Been going through that for about a month myself. Called around yesterday for a medical doctor! Geezz............ One wanted 435.00 just for a consultation. Another would not even tell me how much a first time visit was, until they got my records. I really miss my doctor back home. Shoot, for 435.00 I could drive back home, see my regular doctor, fill whatever, drive back and still not spent as much money.

oooh Becky you have them right where I get them...they're awful.
I lay on the floor flat (might hurt a bit) on the heating pad and just let it sink into my muscles. Once my muscles are warm...I start stretching out my neck and back. If you have the time try doing this every 20 minutes or so. I'm not a doc by any means...but those spasms send me through the roof sometimes...seems to be a good way for me to get rid of them. Hope you feel better sweetie...

Doesn't potassium help? Eat a banana and drink extra water.

Thank you all for your kindness! I am still in a lot of pain! I have eaten a few banana's, used a tennis ball on the wall, moist heat, and biofreeze. I went to the health store and bought some BioCitrate Magnesium to help whith he spasm, as well as Repair which is supposed to assist the body with tissue repair. The lady said these things would work, I don't know if I just bought some "snake oil" but at this point I am willing to try anything!

maybe you could schedule yourself for a message?? i always found those helpful for alot of pains and stress related physical symptoms in my body!

If anyone you know has been to a massage person they may be able to get it out for you. They can feel where the knots are and stick a knuckle in there. It hurts a lot. But it releases.

Just had my 5 yr old walk around on my back! It worked some! I am going to have him do it again later!
