Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Muscle Spasms In The Arms And Legs?
I just spent Friday Morning in the ER with severe muscle spams in my arms and legs and most of my body including my neck for several hours before they gave me adavan to stop them which still took a while. My question is what would cause my brain to send these weird signals to my body? I have restless legs and have been diagnosed with MS. Can these be related and how to do I find out? Roberta
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is due to over exhausted work, not getting proper oxygen in the muscle. Take Tramadol and Paracetamol combination, 2 times a day, for five days. Take Omeprazole twice a day for five days. You can apply hot water bag on affected site, apply Diclofenac spray at pain site 2-3 times in a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
