What Causes Painful Spasms With A Bulge Feeling In Rib Cage Area?

Hi, I have been getting fairly frequent painful muscle spasms on my rib cage area. I can actually feel a bulge when this happens. The spasms seem to come up in various areas, front, back sides. Also I have a fairly large lump (golf ball size or more)on the lower left back. It is fairly hard but not bone like and is not painful.What could be causing this?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that spasm in the body is most probably due to low salt and calcium in body. I would suggest you to check your vitamin D 3 and vitamin B12 level and see if there is any deficiency.Also whenever you are having spasm then you need to take salt full glass of water. Also take calcium daily with once a week vitamin D 3. Methylcobal injection can be taken one daily for ten days.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
