How Can Painful Muscles Spasms On The Back Be Treated?
I have had plantar facaitis (spelling?)in my feet for a little over a year. Recently I have started have spasms in my back. I wonder if it could be related to the problem with my feet or to one of the medications I am taking. It is very painful and I also wonder what to do to relieve the pain.

Hi,
Plantar fasciitis is a different condition then back pain.
The back pain could be due to multiple reasons including disc prolapse. Heel pain may sometimes be due to slipped disc in back where pressure in the nerves can cause similar symptoms. Start pain killers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
