Suggest Treatment For Muscle Spasms In The Legs

Hello I take Soma 350mg for muscle spasms and have done so for 10 year. I have just moved back to Texas and all the doctors here now say they will not RX Some any more. I have had dozens of doctors try all the meds in the Soma category to control the muscle spasms in my legs but none work so we always come back to Soma, what other options do I have now?

hi,

thanks for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

Since you are facing issues with muscle spasms i will advice you to perform some regular stretches and strengthening exercises. You can under go physical therapy as you will learn properly how to perform without damaging the muscle fibers and also without leading to any inflammation to the muscle fibers.

Consult a physical therapist to learn the exercises.
