What Causes Persistent Muscle Spasms And Back Pain Despite Taking Ibuprofen?
constant muscle fatigue and although my doctor terms it muscle spasms, it does NOT feel like a spasm....just a constant ache in upper back. This has been a debilitating condition since I came down with shingles in February 2012. It just will not go away even with me taking an ibuprofen. Will taking a potassium supplement help?

Hello,
You can consider antispasmodic drugs like baclofen for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
