Interested in hearing from others suffering severe nerve/muscle (arms, hands and legs) spasms related to Cervical Radiculopathy. Diagnosed with sero-positive RA, 37 years on now and also have osteoporosis in neck and hips. Nothing (medicine, PT, yoga) gives relief from random spasms that last 5-10 minutes. Just have to let them have their way until they peak then resolve. Never know when it will happen which makes driving a challenge as well as daily activities when spasms take over. So far, haven't found anyone on Mayo Clinic Connect that suffers from radiculopathy vs PAD/Peripheral Neuropathy--they are not initiated by the same precursors.

@rocky98502 Welcome to Connect. I am a spine patient, but I don't have RA. Just a thought, since I know that magnesium helps with muscle spasms, and soaking in an Epsom salt bath may help. Most of us are deficient in magnesium and you will absorb it through your skin doing this. You can buy Epsom salts at a grocery store pharmacy section, and put a couple cups in for a warm water soak for 20 minutes. It's very relaxing too!
