What Causes Spasms In The Lower Back And Legs?

Hi My Name Is MaryAnn, I m having horrible uncontrolled spasms from my lower back down my legs at night. It s like being shocked. In the past 3 weeks it has gotten almost unbearable. Something new is my skin is untouchable. When I m having these spasms I can not touch the skin on my legs front or back or the bottom my feet.??? Whats going on.... It was so bad last night I almost we to the ER?? I fell and broke my Tailbone 4 years ago. However until the past month I just had pain. But these electrical shocks and untouchable skin is scary??? My doctor is unavailable for 10 days. ED?? Thank you.. YYYY@YYYY .

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to the deficiency of magnesium which can give muscle spasms. So I suggest you to take magnesium supplements and eat magnesium rich food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
