1715412 tn?1308750906 I quite often get muscle spasm in my neck as well as stiffness. Use a bit of DicoflamD or Celebrex prescribed by GP. This time I experience stiffness from shoulder, neck across my head up to my forehead. Now and again a little headache across the head into the side of my face. My legs also at times feels wobbly. What could this be and should I seek medical attention. Blood pressure a little raised, more than usually, flushed face, a little off balance.
Avatar n tn I never had high blood sugar but recently after a 10 day course of celebrex for an inflamed shoulder muscle my fasting blood sugar shot up to 137. I read that celebrex has this side effect. Is it reversible?
Avatar n tn That's most likely a muscle spasm. You get a muscle spasm like that when you've strained something in the area of the spasm, like for you, your shoulder, anything you did that could have pulled or tugged hard on your arms or shoulder area, it'll cause muscles to bunch up, and they'll spasm out like that at random times. Sometimes you can try to remember what you done to make this happen, and you won't remember, but nevertheless that is usually the situation.
Avatar n tn There is nothing in the bloodstream that would indicate a problem, but like I say, while he calms down and begins to rest, it is as if there is an uncontrollable spasm for his chest/shoulder muscles. It does not appear to be painful, but definately noticable. I forgot to mention he is going on 6 yrs old and in good shape 65-68 pounds for a male boxer. I don't know what to do. I can send video as well. The vet asked for one as well.
460185 tn?1326077772 t be possible for your dog to use the leg for a few moments, or even longer, if she had a muscle spasm. I had one in my arm once, which continued (painfully) for three days. I could not even bear anything to touch my lower arm, and it was impossible to straighten out my arm. In the end I went to a doctor who was also an acupuncturist. Within 5 minutes, using acupuncture, it was fixed! It never recurred.
Avatar f tn t want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer. Tried the muscle relaxer the first night seemed to take a little of the night time pain away not much.

1501377 tn?1291508678 Eat a banana every day because low potassium can cause muscle spasms. I have also read that tonic water is good for it.
Avatar f tn I'm 30w and have had bad muscle cramping for several weeks. Much worse at night and in all muscles below the waist although my hand cramped up last week. I have to be careful how I flex my calves while in bed or I'll get a terrible Charlie horse. Sometimes I wake up and feel like many muscles are are on the verge of cramping and I'm scared because after that first Charlie horse I limped for days!
Avatar n tn I JUST HAD TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT DONE. I JUST STARTED HAVEING SEVERE MUSCLE SPASM AROUND MY KNEE. IM ON MUSCLE RELAXERS BUT THEY DONT HELP. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGESTIONS? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/984295'>Muscle Spasms after knee replacement surgery</a>.
1983221 tn?1333506185 I haven't really had that but I bet someone has... I have had a deep aching feeling (which I think is spasticity). I also have had such severe cramping my foot looks deformed and I can barely walk on. Hugs --- this stuff is all so weird.
Avatar n tn When I sneeze, my stomach/abdominal muscle goes into a spasm. It's right under my sternum and get very tight just to the right. It's so intense, I have to stand up and arch my back so the spasm will go away. It always seems to occur just after I sneeze or when I'm driving and kind of hunched over.
Avatar f tn true, I was on celebrex for a short time and it did not work for me. I thought it was making even more edgy and did not help with my muscle & joint pain. I think just like everything else, it is different for different people. Good luck & welcome to the forum.
1207048 tn?1282174304 It might help to be evaluated and then go for a few sessions and see if it helps. If it is muscle they can help you with range of motion excersizes (sp?) and even give you some to do at home before bed and in the morning to help you not feel 95 anymore, lol.
Avatar f tn No, it would be unheard of for Celebrex to damage your heart valve. Celebrex and similar drugs do cause high blood pressure in many individuals, though. You might have gone forever and not known about the heart valve if you had not gotten high blood pressure from the Celebrex. Follow whatever advice the cardiologist gave you, and don't worry.
Avatar n tn You might need to discuss this with your doctor and tell them that your are still having problems. Maybe they can increase the dosage..but I'm not sure. I'm on Baclofen for spasm/spasticity so I know more about that then I do zanaflex. One thing I have tried, which is kind of a trick that might give you some relief is...take an ace bandage or a Ted hose. (A Ted hose can be found at the pharmacy. It's used for blood clots and circulation problems in the legs. They can be expensive.
Avatar f tn I have been on Celebrex, prednisone, plaquinal, methatrexate, enberol, folic acid, fosamax. I stopped celebrex and prednisone for one month, joint pain became worse, I am on Nexium for the gastritis. I have been healthy except for the rheumatoid arthritis. This burning pain and shortness of breath is getting me down. I have always been very active, walk at least 2 miles a day, now I am lucky to go around the block. I appreciate your responding to my question.
Avatar dr m tn I have for years considered this muscle spasm from the low back disease. However, MRI did show my facets were pretty arthritic from the years of instability with the Spondy. For some reason I had in my mind those small joints could not possible be causing the pain I was experiencing.
Avatar m tn Still some pain so am taking 3 Ultracet tabs per 24 hours with pretty good pain relief except following 30 minutes on the treadmill and various muscle building exercises and stretches. To calm down those muscles following exercises and stretches I would like to take one 200mg Celebrex daily but one drug interaction cite suggests "Moderate" drug-drug issue involving CYP450 2D6, which means nothing to me.
378497 tn?1232143585 I have an old shoulder injury that damaged my rotator cuff. I had surgery to repair it and now have developed a large area of calcium deposits that cause shoulder pain to flair up from over-use. It expecially hurts to lie on my back, when it's acting up. Is it possible that you overused your shoulder to have caused this sudden problem? Do you remember hurting yourself?
Avatar n tn My daughter on a recent sports physical, it was noted that when she bent over, there was a soft bulge to the right side of her mid back, it was soft, no history of injury, causing pain, but when bent over from the back the right side of her back was swollen, to the right of the spine, The doctor states it appears to be a muscle spasm, this is not causing pain, but just wondering what we need to do and if this is indications of a muscle spasm, How long should the swelling be present, and what s
Avatar n tn Hi there. There are certain causes responsible for muscle twitching like diet deficiency, drug overdose, and side effects of diuretics, corticosteroids, estrogens, exercise, benign twitches, and nervous system conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, muscle dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and myopathy. Your neurologist needs to look into these conditions one by one. The other possible cause could be multiple sclerosis and is a diagnosis of exclusion.
