Why Have I Been Experiencing Soreness In My Lower And Middle Back For Several Weeks And Muscle Spasms In The Calves And Legs?

I have been experiencing soreness in my lower and middle back for several weeks. I have been getting PT for what I thought was a muscle issue but the treatments do not seem to be helping. Now I am getting twitching or what might be muscle spasms in my legs/calves that I notice particularly at night. The muscle pain in my back seems to move around from lower to middle and can occur on either side but is most pronounced on the right side.

Hi,

Better to get an MRI scan done to make a diagnosis first to go forward with proper treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
