Suggest Treatment For Muscle Spasms In Back

Back muscle pain. Serious stretching on a exercise machine helps. Ibuprofin helps ease the muscle pain quite well, but don t like taking too much. One pill a day is taking care of the pain. I had a shot perhaps 2 to 3 weeks ago. The shot smarted something fierce

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of muscle spasms in back. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like wrong posture, injury, Vitamin B12 or E deficiency, nerve compression, disc problem or sciatica. Need not to worry much as this is a very common occurrence. For now apply warm compresses to back , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant,anti inflammatory , or recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
