HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it could be muscle spasm and if it want to rule out for the spine disease then it is advisable to get done the MRI test till then you can try Tab Chlorzoxazone with Diclofenac once in day, else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
