What Causes Constant Muscle Spasms In The Lower Back And Legs?
I have back pain from a car wreck in 2012. Recently I had kidney stones and a noticed that where the injury occurred that my spine is crooked at the base. I know I have some bulging disc s and some problems with the spine about 6 discs up. My right hip causes great pain as well. But what I don t understand is why my fatigue and most of the joints in my entire body hurts all the time. No matter how well the sleep is that I get always just feel tired in alove over. In my legs I have constant muscle spasms as well in my lower back and sometimes in my upper chest like that have trouble And pain with each breath I take. The spasming so bad one day I actually thought I was having a heart attack. I had an EKG and everything looked good my blood pressure is a little high and so I think I have a list of the prayer of the day and that s keeping me in the 180 to 185 range over 80 to 84. My overall feeling at most times when I describe it to other people says it sounds like fibromyalgia which I had always thought only affected women. What are some of the known illnesses that that I should or could be on the lookout for?
Hi Instead of presumptions it’s better to consult an rheumatologist since you have some joints problems too besides muscles aches and pains and spasms.Yes fibromyalgia ,degenerative disease of joints. Could be considered after tests of blood,X-ray of joints etc.It needs a small work up to manage by doctor. Pregabelin,tramadol,lyrics are few meds rheumatologist may consider unless some specific arthritis form is ruled out or confirmed by tests,X-ray when more specific medications may be prescribed. Do ice or hot packs which ever helps,apply muscle relaxers gels.Parafon a muscle relaxant tablet or some other tab may be symptomatically be advisable .A specialist may prescribe after tests so consult one.
