I get leg spasms occasionally in my left leg. Outside front of leg. I have psoriatic arthritis but is under control with meds. I used to get these spasms so bad I would attempt to alleviate pain by sticking needles in my legs ( long story....clean needles) but my rheumy said I was just aggravating p.s.a. In muscles. Sometimes the spasm goes away if I walk.....other times it just makes it spasm more. I applied heat tonight and it has helped but I can feel it tightening up again. What is wrong and how do I fix this.....thanks
