What Causes Painful Muscle Spasms Below The Right Shoulder Blade?
I am having painful muscle spasms below my right shoulder blade. The spasms occur roughly every 10 seconds, making it impossible for me to sleep and rest. I m using a heating pad to get some relief but the spasms continue. This happened two weeks again and it took a few days with using the heating pad to (I thought) resolve the pain. Now it s back with very little warning. I don t understand why the spasms persist. It s like getting a leg cramp below my shoulder blade every few second.
Muscle spasms can be seen in many systemic diseases and nervous disorders.. But they are not routinley presesnt with muscle spasm..
So first thing is you have to rule out simple conditions of muscle spasms.. -Over usage.. if you are doing new strenous work it may be cause of spasms -Dehydration can cause spasms
Solution: Drink plenty of water specially before any physical work, do muscle strech exercises for muscles around shoulder by consulting an expert or observing youtube videos..take carnitine supplements for muscle health.. for pain relief you can use combination of pain killers with muscle relaxants [ex Zerodol MR]
If condition isnt resolving with above measures you need to consult physician for further evaluation..
Hope i clarified your doubts..
