Hi Ginny, i do get muscle spasms, but they are more so in my lower back sacral area i have terrible arthritus there and it has terrible spasms there. Soma is good for spams, but also there is zanaflex is what i take, people with MS and Parkinsons take it,so it works pretty well. I get twitches in my upper right thigh and also of all places my forehead,havent figured that one out yet, it doesnt really hurt, but it feels real odd. Oh yeah I do remmeber chronically, not always but at times i get this little spasm on my right breast, it also does not hurt but feels real odd, like a flutter spasming. The only one which real hurt are my lower back and upper right thigh. But i suspect mine is do to arthritus rather than fibro, at least in my back anyway. The thigh i have no idea just know it hurts.
My poor hubby has got a bad back, and i occasionlly will give him a flexerill i have left over, i dont really take those anymore. And sometimes i will give him a zanaflex, and he says that zanaflex really helps his lower back too.
I have tryed soma before to and it works real well too, better than the flexerill, thats why i dont take the flexrill anymore, dosnt really help like it should.
I hope you get to the source of your spasms,and can get them under control, i would be horrified if I had breathtaking spasms up where your having them, i would be think i was having a heart ache or something. Good luck your in my prayers ......
