Knots in muscles

Posted by sue417 @sue417, Aug 30 8:00pm

Hi
I am having.
On the inside of my thigh a hard knot that keeps spasming, very painful. Wondering if anyone has ever had this experience. Doing heat and muscle stim. It's let go a
bit but still painful

Yes,the ones in my foot where my foot in pulled back to my leg and I can't even put weight on it are terrible! My doctor has no idea how to help. All my labs are in good range. Have you asked your doctor about yours?

No not yet but I think that I might try putting Magnesium lotion on my feet at night. I have been using this in the mornings on my legs. The one I get is from Amazon.

I have fibro, ibs. I get muscle tightness or spasm on my side if I twist. It is so painful. I can't twist to look or reach left or right. If I do it hurts so bad I can't breathe. If I stay still the pain gradually goes away. Has anyone else had this pain? I've asked my doc and not sure. So I guess I just suffer? Don't twist? Don't move?

I use this stuff and it works quick. I get it from Amazon. Best to dilute a little bit but not much. You want it concentrated when it hits your stomach.

I should add I recently learned that we need 0.7 grams of protein per pound we weigh. Since I have increased and tracked my intake to match this I have much less leg and overall pain. I use premier brand protein drinks that have 30 grams each for about 170 calories. I use the cafe latte or vanilla or caramel flavored ones as creamer in my coffee as well as drink them on my commute or have for dessert. Costco sells them as does Sam's Club, Walmart etc. big difference in pain for me.
