Body spasms

[Africanmonkey]

I have gone 3 days now with body pain and spasms does anyone know what to do to calm it down as I have tried the bath and use ibuprofen on my knees. I try to get out into the garden but 10 minutes is all I can do. I can't even seem to be bothered about food as I want to just rest but my whole body keeps going into spasms

I’d try and make an appointment with your GP asap Africanmonkey , as that doesn’t sound right, that your having muscle spasms all over your body, all the time. I know Fibromyalgia can cause body spasms, but to have them constantly seems strange . Do you take any supplements?, as I know Magnesium can be helpful for spasms,in all its different ways, be it taken by mouth , a spray , bath salts etc . If you don’t feel ill , you’re probably doing the best , to try and do some activity. I’d be on the phone to my surgery , just to put your mind at rest , because if it’s just a flare up, it seems very bad .

I’d make sure there isn't something underlying like a virus. My fibro goes into flare up mode when I have an infection. Recently, I had a spasm in my foot and it was mainly through being cold, so try popping a hot-water bottle under the muscle. Hope you manage to find something that helps.
