Suggest Treatment For A Ruptured Disk With Muscle Spasms
I ruptured a disk at L5 4 years ago. I opted for physical therapy but have never been pain free since. I have muscle spasms constantly in my left calf and if my pain level is increased, I have a hard time going to the bathroom. I do not take any medication for pain.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be muscle cramps in the calf. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplements. Warm compresses can also be helpful in treating the pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
