Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Strained Muscles And Spasms

Recently experienced a visit to e.r. I told them no meds with the sweetener from monk fruit and alcohol. The nurse did not know because of small print of the ingredients I asked to for go the pain meds and to give me only a anti-inflammatory then followed up with a Dr. varble in Beauna Vista who told my Dr. I was drug seeking after a slip and fall on ice in Colo. I was confused because therapy was very painful in the strained muscles and spasms that left me in agony of defeat as well as insulted.

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic

I have read your query and understand your concern,muscle spasm are usually caused due to excessive muscle strain like heavy exercise,dehydration,muscle fatigue,inadequate warming up before exercise.I suggest my patients with similar conditions:

1.To take rest for few days which will reduce the calf muscle activity reducing the inflammation.

2.Maintain adequate hydration with proper intake of electrolytes,1 sachet of Electral powder mixed in 1 liter of water will solve the purpose.

3.Give warm compresses to the affected area.

4.Anti inflammatory medications like tab.ibuprofen with a muscle relaxant like tab.myospaz forte will help to relieve the spasm.

5.If still the pain is not relieved consult an orthopaedician to check out for any muscle tendon tear and further investigations if required by him.

Kindly rate my answer if you find it helpful.Feel free to ask any further queries.Take care.

Regards,
Dr.Tushar Tamboli
