Common Questions and Answers about Leg pain muscle spasms
pain
potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, vitamin B complex, or vitamins B1, B3, or B6 and Vitamin D. Generally deficiencies of any of the above can cause muscle twitching and spasms in localized or generalized areas of the body. Get your kidney function, parathyroid gland function and adrenal function tests done because these affect the electrolyte balance in the body. Stress, alcohol, caffeine and fatigue all cause similar symptoms. Hence if you take alcohol or coffee then cut this down.
Then comes severe burning pain, from all the spasms...like I have overworked the muscle in a gyn. I can only describe it as feeling like someone is holding a blow-torch to my muscles. My word, it hurts. It's BAD.
I too have gone the Balofen route. I cannot take it during the day, because it makes me too weak. I take 30mgs. at night, only. I also have Restless Leg Syndrome, so my doctor has me on 3 mgs. of Klonopin at night for that.
My spasms like to change spots throughout the day but it prefers my left side. I do get spasms in my right leg but nothing compared to the left.Sometimes the muscle will be so stiff, it will look like I'm flexing my muscle. It constantly stays in that flexed state.
Are you on any medication for your spasms? If not, you really need to be. I get some relief from Baclofen. It is a CNS muscle relaxer. It takes away the muscle spasms and relieves the spasticity.
On top of other problems, I have recently been having muscle spasms in my hands, legs and feet. The hand problems occur when I've driving, holding up the newspaper, writing a letter. My hand gnarls up into an ugly claw, my fingers spazzing painfully. The problem with my legs and feet usually occurs after I've been asleep. I will be awakened with muscle spasms in the ball of my feet or the calves of my legs or sometimes the deep muscles on the inside of my thighs.
I get extremely painful muscle spasms in right leg below the knee. It's always my right leg. My doctor prescribed 300 - 600 mg a night. This does not seem to be very effective.
Also have acid reflux. Prilosec is not as effective as it once was.
I was on prednisone for years for polymyalgia rheumatica. No known side effects. I wonder if it would help with the muscle spasms
I am 78 yrs old and aside from the above, in excellent health.
Suggestions welcome!
I am surprised, as I thought they were prescribed to help the pain. Once the spasms get started, the pain medication does very little.
I have taken SOMA, which is mildly effective for an hour or so. It just makes me sleepy. I have tried Baclofen and still take Baclofen at night, but I can't say that it helps very much either. I have yet to find anything that really controls the spasms.
Anyone ever have muscle spasms that caused severe pain in their leg when bending at the knee (such as kneeling, getting in and out of a car, etc.) or in the groin area?
Baclofen isn't working for me - so I'm just wondering if I'm nuts. This has been going on for a month now and the pain is wearing me down.
So My Leg Has Started Locking Up In My Sleep. Like I Will Wake Up In So Much Pain Because My Leg Is Completely Tense And My Foot Is Completely Locked InAn Overly Extended position And I Can't MoveIt. IM Currently 36 Weeks And This Is Making Even Getting Out Of Bed Difficult Because Any Use Of My Legs Will Start it. I've Never Felt Pain Like That Before, Like It Is Worse Then When I Broke My Legs And Idk If It's Due To Some Sort Of Vitamin Deficiencies Or What.
I'm a 22 year old female. When I was around 12 I started getting leg spasms. But they didn't seem normal. They were crippling. They were probably the most painful thing I'd ever experienced. To the point of wanting to scream. The muscle spasms were visible and to be honest, my muscles were going so crazy, it looked like a bag of worm wriggling around inside my calf. It happens less frequently now, but more painful.
Hi, I too have muscle spasms. Severe! My Pain management Doc put me on Zanaflex 4mg. One usually does it and 2 knocks you out! Try 2mg first. Pretty strong. Have tried flexeril but not strong enough. This is a controlled substance so you have to have a hand delivered script to get it which is a pain (no pun intended, lol) but it is worth it. I only use it when I have too. Won't stop the reason but will help the symptom.
I also have severe neuropathy in my left foot my leg is very sensitive to touch to pants legs washing my leg putting shoes and socks on and get these shooting strong pain. I am taking lyrics and pain meds and also muscle relaxer and it doesn't seem to help. I have to be careful how I move or I would get a muscle spasms.
Hello~It sounds like you are having muscle spasms, and your hip and lower back could be the cause. I recommend seeing a chiropractor, he/she will take an x-ray of the area and be able to tell you what is going on. After a few adjustments and some stretching exercises, you should start to feel a lot better.
I am not a doctor, just a parent of a type-1 teenager, but I do know that muscle spasms are typical of low-blood-sugar seizures. It sounds like he is having seizures, just not severe enough to lose consciousness.
You say he has been low consistently, but don't mention if he also swings high. If he is running more consistently low, he needs to talk to his endocrinologist as soon as possible to see about reducing his amounts of insulin, or tinkering with his schedule of shots.
as it effects the one back leg and front leg on the same side , she dosn`t go into jerking motions, saw that once when she had the first one and she did yelp out in pain.....I have a very good vet but sometimes they can be wrong.....by the way my dog is 17 and a small breed...so to have her this long has been a blessing......just not ready to call it quits on her...she may also have some arthuritis but not postive on this ........
Any information you can give me will be appreciated .....
