What Causes Severe Muscle Spasms And Prolonged Periods?
Severe muscle spasms with seasonal weather changes. Massage and stretching give temporary relief but only for an hour. Prednisone knocks out the pain completely but do not want to be on prednisone for prolonged periods of time. What is the problem?

Hi,
There are many reasons for the muscle cramps in your body, the one which I may infer from your history looks like dehydration, dehydration and increase in potassium level in blood look like the cause.
You can't start taking steroid directly. You need to take a good amount of fluids, calcium. I think that will be enough for you.
You can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication combined with muscle relaxants if there is any need but only after consulting your general physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muzaffer Hussain Parray,
