What Causes Severe Back Spasms Which Radiate To The Stomach After A Hip Replacement?
Question - I have very bad back spasms -- - I have (R) hip replaced --- (L) leg is becoming shorter than (R) and I walk like Matt Dillon s Chester ... (TV) up - down - up down -- I can stand for about 5 mins. then the spasm comes, if I force standing the cramping will hit the stomach... I do drink my water and take my Vitamins for the muscles and had a left -- didn t help. Any food for thought?
the leg length discrepancy may cause pelvic tilt abd this absolutely will lead to muscle spasm of the same side due to shortening of the left back muscles and lumbar scoliosis..the pain should not refer anteriorly unless there is impact on the left abdominal muscles and quadratus lumborum.
