At times my toes and fingers tingle and my arm feels weak like the first stage of going to sleep. At times my muscles start to spasm in one area but once rubbed will shift to different areas of my back. Also I have times that my muscle will swell and run fever. Constant pain through my back hips and knees sometimes my hands. My thumbs will also draw into the center of my hand. It doesn t hurt but is very uncomfortable and im unable to use my hands until it passes. I have no energy and even on my best days which is becoming less and less im in pain. I have recently started getting bad headaches that start in my neck and surrounds my head, im sensitive to light and sound and sometimes will last for days. Please help me figure out what is wronge so I can work on feeling better!!
Muscle knots occur when the muscle fiber tense and tighten. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken along with muscle relaxants like Chlorzoxazone. Muscle relaxants will help in relieving muscle spasm and pain. They can cause a little drowsiness. Physiotherapy to release the muscle knots can also be done which is quite effective.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
