What Causes Muscle Spasms In Mid Right Back?

I m having muscle spasms in my mid right back. It seems like the more I look down it becomes worse. It s right under my back ....angel wing. Haha it has been going on off and on for a year now. Seems like if I take some ibuprofen it will go away but always returns. It takes my breath away at times.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

I will advise MRI spine to see for any nerve compression leading to back spasm.

Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
