For several years now, I have been experiencing SEVERE spasms sometimes nearly crippling me & bringing me to tears and making it hard to talk & breath.I can feel them approaching with little brief cramps and i try contorting my body in anyway that may block or push against the spasm depending where it is. Mostly my rib cage and they pop rite up like hard balls it looks & feels like ribs rising up all by themselves..!! Excruciating! ! Oh' my god but it also happens in my back, sides,hands&fingers, &less often, but but one of the west yet my abdomen. Sometimes many times a day sometimes once a month.?sometimes I can move my body to force it away, and sometimes the muscle or whatever you can see it going down only to see it Pop Rite Back Up ! Some of these episodes leave me sore specially in my ribs & back for a day or 2 after. Its become more frequent and what I would term as debilitating.I don't know what it is or what to do about it. And i can't take much more. Its to much. And it isn't going away .on its own like I originally. Thought would happen.. Seems its getting worse . more frequent &lasting longer & more intense&harder to stave off. Please tell me Im not going to live like this the rest of my days.oh' Im 55yr.old female.average hight&weight PLEASE! !advise...!mingyetmswer your health question? Please type your question here...
