Mid-back muscle spasms: Unending

I don't understand why all of the doctors that I have seen can't do anything for my back muscle spasm. I have been chair-bound, with the heating pad, since the end of June. Granted, I am 82 years old, but I have no other physical problems and plenty of energy that I can't use! PLEASE, someone, help me!! I have tried all muscle drugs and all pain pills (which upset my stomach) and nothing stops it!

Have you tried any magnesium supplements? You can read about the different forms but magnesium deficiency can cause spasms. Check out magnesium glycinate.

I’ve had shoulder/thoracic muscle spasms that travel the whole side from neck to bottom of ribcage. I, like you, tried many different approaches. I have the muscle relaxants and pain meds, which I don’t like , but at a certain point I take, to get some sleep. I FINALLY decided to try acupuncture. No more muscle spasms, except on occasion if I do too much with my right arm, then all Hell breaks loose. I’ve been having acupuncture treatments for 2 yrs this month. I’m on a maintenance plan. My acupuncture Doctor has helped me tremendously. Acupuncture may be worth a try. Have you tried chiropractic? I’d had a mastectomy and she feels this is scar tissue. Blessings and I hope you find some relief.
