Sorry you are still dealing with spasms…they are to diagnose and treat…I get them and my osteopath helps a lot, so they are less painful…I tend to gather tension in my diaphragm, so breathing exercises help, long slow exhales…and doc gives me tailored exercises for my sore spots.

Did you have any specific testing done? Thinking EMGs would show if nerve based. Maybe different degrees of nerve related pain that presents differently? Not pinched nerve pain thank goodness.
I've had steroid shots, helpful. Diazepam is indicted for spasm, but not helpful. Low dose 5mg. Muscle relaxants. Acupuncture hasn't helped. PT a few times, stretching.... some help.
I still like to think if it can be diagnosed, it can be fixed!!: ) Thank you nyc. : )
