That sounds very unpleasant. I am sorry you had to endure that. Spasms are so incredibly painful and scary. It’s a long list of tools in my toolbox, but without a diagnosis you won’t have access to a lot of my tools. In the interim, most SPS patients find heat to help. Heating pads, hot tubs, saunas, hot baths, infrared sauna bags to use in home, etc. Also Tylenol and THC (if you are open to that) if you have not been prescribed Valium yet. Low stress, quiet, and lower lighting help. Sometimes light stretching. Heated massage guns, if tolerable. Massage therapy, light or deep depending on what your body can handle.

Try to keep a journal of symptoms and take videos and pictures as things happen.

I hope this helps and the new doctor can get you a proper diagnosis.

@sheeva888 I just re-read your list again. I checked our weather for the week, and it will be between 104-109 degrees. I could just sit on the patio for the light and heat therapy!
Kidding aside, I have inflamed arteries (Vasculitis), and fibromyalgia. Some of the things wouldn’t work for me unfortunately .
