Muscle spasms

[Africanmonkey]

I have found my legs are starting to jurk more now and not restless leg as I have that. But more like a spasm. Is this part of fibromyalgia please

[Flowerinbloom]

I have exactly the same and when I spoke to the orthopaedic consultant she Said it was nerve pain !

I also have restless leg syndrome but this hasn’t been as bad actually almost gone since the spasms started.

I haven’t found anything that helps although I’m glad that I know what it is .

Hope you are well x

Thanks for the support, I am in even more problems today as I can hardly move around. The muscles are so weak and I have to care for Thomas.

can be yea. Can also be due to vitamin D or magnesium deficiency

Try eating more foods containing both and maybe consider taking vitamin D supplements would be beneficial to talk to a pharmacist also for their recommendations

Okay thanks I have my vitamin D already as I am not outside as much now but magnesium I will check

Hi there, I've had this, I was referred to a neurologist but he didn't find anything wrong. My GP thought that it was part of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

I was red referred to neurology but there is a 2 year waiting list unfortunately. I would see your GP and talk to him about it. New symptoms do need checking out as not everything is due to Fibromyalgia. So we can't take them for granted.

I hope you get some answers and treatment for your legs. I think it's a neurological symptom but I am not a doctor. Take care of yourself, love and prayers, Elaine xx 🤗

Hi, I also have a problem with leg (especially) muscle spasms and foot cramps. The only thing that helps me with that is Myofascial Release therapy. It's a kind of massage. This is an interesting video: youtube.com/watch?v=__sNBnG...(Not working as expected?).
