Muscle spasms:-( how does yours feel

Hi

I am really concerend.
I have spasms that feel like pulling tugging sudden zaps of pull pull pull or tight tight?

Now the problem is I have this from top to bottom.
Meaning I have something pulling from top of my head to bottom of my feet.
It's Continous all day all over!!! I have trouble walkin as all my muscle are tight.
As u walk I get bouts of spasms here an there in legs like pinch pull. I am total tight head to toe. I can't sit I can't move right.
So if I pick up bag of grocery and put it down my arm and fingers will throw burst of twitching.
Little bit of walking and then I lay down my legs are going mental twothin spasmsing tightening, throbbin ache.
This is in my face throat every where. All day!!
How can this be!
I know you guys have it in back it neck but I am a ball of tight spasm!!
Then as bi muscle tighten I get non stop migrating spasms. Like finger o finger to toe to toe to palm of my hand to patches around butt to ribs to stomach.
I also get stabbing shooting nerve burning numbness pain.

I don't get it how can this be in my whole boy like poison just movin around. If I could show you I imagine a lot up christmass tree blinking that's how my spasms move. But in legs remain constant throbbing ache an pulling then it spits out twitching.

It feels like muscle pulling of bone!! Walk up and down stairs in hard as muscles wrappe around joint.

I hear people describe this in neck and back but not full body at the same time

Any suggestions.
Like my legs constant moving like worms Movig in and out up and down. Besides the twitching pulsating movement that u can see and feel.

Thankyou

I don't know if this would help you, but the spasms I used to have would literally curl me
up in a ball. It would hit hard and heavy, usually lasting up to 3 hours. It didn't matter how
many darvacet and flexoril I took, it just wouldn't touch it. I finally went back to my wonder
guy in the herbal shop and got his advice. I started True Calm by NOW brand and it helped.
This is kind of an herbal prozac and works on nerve endings. I went back last week and told
him the muscle weakness is getting real bad and the burning of them was so horrible it was
hard to work. I am now on Beta-Alanine which is an amino acid and only take 1 tablet about
6 times a day (I do a lot of heavy work) and am amazed at how well this works for the
burning and weakness issues. For the fatigue we all seem to suffer, I started cinnamon capsules
about 3 weeks ago as I heard it helps with sugar stabilization and is a natural thermogenic.
I've dropped 5 more pounds and have a bunch more energy. Right now it's nearly 9 at nite
and I'm usually a zombie by now, but I'm still going. Good luck and check this stuff out.
I got tired of the drugs and have gone almost entirely herbal.

I have bad muscle spasms in my arms and shoulders. I don't know whether the tramadol or the gabapentin keeps them away, but I'm sure glad one of them does.

thankyou so much guys, i appreciate all the answers..you guys are awesome

as far as meds that can cause this, I dont take anything on regular basis. in 2006 i took lyrica whicih didnt help. that was first medicine for this since 1999 when all this started.

now i take baclofen. but i never use daily i just suffer. cause i am more afraid of meds :-(

yes i just got prescription for 50 mg tramadol so i will go ahead can take and hope and pray thats all i need.

i got elevil too but dint take it yet.

i got magnesium powder called ionic fizz. so will start that too.

i started alpha lipoic acid as it helps nerve pain.

i have an appt for massage so i hope it helps. this lady is really good in myofascial. dont know if thats my problem.

its hard to find a reallyh good naturopath. who can guid for everything.

but i really appreciate all the suggestions

will try everything i can

thankyou

I am glad to hear you now have Tramadol. It took mine about a week to settle all of my spasms and that was three 50mg a day, so give it a chance and take enough of it. I would also suggest that you try not to start too many new things all at once as it can be hard to tell what is helping if you do that.

It is funny that you had ear spasms as well. It is just amazing to me what we have gone through. It is so hard to explain to others who have not lived it.

good luck to you.

Some posters may benefit from checking to see if any of their meds are causing the problem.  I get muscle spasms (clonus) from 10 mg Ambien, but it's tolerable at 5 mg, although doesn't work as well for sleep.

I also get clonic spasms from combining tramadol with other meds, like Flexeril, that put me into serotonin syndrome (google the description).  Although you could be getting these spasms without taking any meds at all, clonic muscle spasms are a symptom of serotonin syndrome.  It's worth checking at www.drugs.com for interactions between the meds you are taking.

For me, it's often the amount of one med or another that's the problem, not just all or none.  I can take some of the drugs in low doses, others just not within 12 hours of taking tramadol. 

 I find most of my docs don't have any understanding of drug interactions and side effects, especially serotonin syndrome, although it's common.  They tend to blame the spasms on a condition, without bothering to look at the meds I am taking.   I've learned to look up new meds and try half doses to start.

I don't have spasms in my ears, but suddenly have them in the nose. Now how do you pull a muscle in your nose? LOL. It's been going on for like 3 days now. I feel like bewitched - as if I twitched my nose too much or something.
