What Causes Muscle Spasms With Blurry Vision?
I have been experiencing muscle spasms in my arms for several months. An ultrasound revealed bursitis in both arms and shoulders, which I thought was the result of over-stretching muscles on a staff health and safety training day (ironic, huh?). However, the symptoms have persisted despite two cortisone shots by my GP, and I have started to recall (as one does) odd health episodes like blurry vision, tiredness and tingling fingers. Actually, the tingling fingers occur on a daily basis.

Hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As for bursitis, the simple treatment is physical therapy - therapeutic ultrasound therapy and slow graded hold relax technique.
For the tingling of fingers, - i will recommend to get the NCV or the MRI of cervical spine done to check the soft tissue injury, as due to the pinching of the nerve this symptoms arise - physical therapy like, TENS therapy, will help improve the overall condition and also with simple neck strengthening exercises.
As you have blurry of vision, you should get the opthalmic assessment done, to see if any optic issues, post which may be a neurologist is needed to check the same. May be an MRI will be advised to check any issues with the neurological system.
