What Causes Severe Spasms In Mid Back While Being An Active Weightlifter?
I am a forty-eight yr old male. I am 6 5 , 285. I participate in weightlifting and stretching exercises. I am not overweight as far as body fat percentage. i was brought out of a sound sleep with middle-back spasms and severe cramping in my abs. I was out of commission for two days. No previous back problems. Worked construction my whole life. What was this episode and what do you think caused it?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of mid back spasm and abdominal cramp following a rigorous exercise I am suggesting that you have started developing involuntary muscle stiffness due to your exercise
In view of this please see a physiotherapist for further clinical assessment and adequate Councelling
Meanwhile please minimize your exercise habit to reduce the symptoms of the spasms and the cramp
I hope this helps
