Hi,
Long standing muscular spasm could be due to fibromyalgia, still it can be ruled out for some neurological disease. Physical exercise (Physiotherapy ) is the best option for this, medicine can be tried like Gabapentin.
Routine tests may helps a lot some time like endocrine function test, stressful condition may cause the same symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query.
