What Could Severe Spasms In Muscles With Swollen Shoulder, Legs And Foot Mean?
My boyfriend is 32 and started going through Xanax with drawls on Tuesday. He was severe muscle spasms for about 7 hours consistently they have slowed down but are still occurring. Yesterday I noticed his right shoulder arm and hand were swollen the swelling goes down into his back as well. He is having intense pain in the shoulder as well. When he sat up I noticed that his right leg and foot started swelling as well the blood vessels in his foot looked like he had a tourniquet around his leg

hi,
Thank you for providing a brief history of illness. If the swelling is in the foot and if you feel that the blood vessels involved than there is nothing harm to consult a physician and if he finds fishy then a venous test will be done which will at least give you a provisional diagnosis and get ease of your worries. Also if the shoulder is swollen that he might have over strained himself. Getting check with a specialist is never bad and always a smart way of dealing. If all parameters are normal even after the tests and assessement by the physician then you can look with hot water fermentation for shoulder and legs. Post that little free exercises will help to get strength in shoulder and doing ankle toe movements while placing the legs on pillow will surely help you get rid of swelling.
with the grace of god i wish you a healthy life
