What Causes Spasms In Shoulder, Back And Lower Neck?
I have been having spasms in my shoulder, back and my lower neck. I can not sleep as it is painful to Lat down. Very sore and painful. This is the third incident like this I gave had in the last year. Last about two weeks. This time it has gotten slowly worse and lasted longer. Not sure what it could be. I am 78 but in good health otherwise.

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have spasm in your neck , shoulder and lower neck . Well the symptoms you mention in query occur due to may factors like injury , arthritis , Osteoporosis , Fibromyalgia , meningitis and sustained one posture for long time like working on computer . I would suggest you to start stretching exercises of neck , back and shoulder muscles , also start physical therapy of these muscles , avoid working in one posture for long times and take proper rest . If condition doesn't get improve in a few days then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and rule out condiion like cervical spondolysis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory and prescribe drugs like eperisone in case of lack of blood circulation .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
