I am sorry you are going through this. I have spasms but not as severe as yours wish I had some advice for you. Good luck Tammy.

My advice is always the same but it works for me so well that i can't resist mentioning again. Magnesium malate keeps me from having those muscles lock up as they used to. It was severe enough to cause me to flip over in bed in pain and try to unblock that tension.

Regular magnesium off the drugstore shelf that does not mention citrate or malate will upset the system as a laxative would so I never take anything except the malate or citrate variety. I started out slow on it. One pill in the morning, one at night most recently when I ran out for a bit and had to restart again. I currently take 2 at bedtime - 1250 mg each.

Stretching is very helpful too. I try to at least do some lunges every day. I hope you get some relief from this - I know how agonizing it can be.

Severe and/or prolonged muscle spasms can damage nerves and/or tendons causing the kinda symptoms you describe. I had this happen to me during a crisis when the whole of my upper abdomen went into severe continuous spasms. This lasted months as it was triggered by another treatment that I had, no choice but, to have. A short term treatment would be a muscle relaxant med, but, obviously you would have to see a health professional for that. I hope that this is of some help and that you're able to find some relief from the agony of the spasms.

Thank to all of you. I will be seeing my new neuro on the 17th. I am taking Baclofen but only at night. I hate to take more meds but I guess sometimes we don't have choice.
