I have chronic muscle spasms radiating around my entire midsection just towards the bottom of my rib cage?

Veronica asked:


I have been tested for EVERYTHING and still the dr. can’t find anything. I’ve had this now for almost two years and its getting worse. I can’t sleep very well as even the slightest move at night causes it to spasm. The only thing the doc has done is to put me on painkillers. I take 5mg of percoset w/o the tylenol as I am also allergic to NSAIDS. I also take Tramadol/Ultram several times day. The valium and Methcarbamol does not work for me at all. Again, I’ve had MRI’s, CT Scans, Ultrasounds of the entire area and nothing is coming up. The only consistent thing in my bloodwork is that I have a really high C-Reactor Protein level (inflammation). I’m doing yoga and I’m swimming and that seems to help a little bit, but some days I can’t even get out of bed due to the pain. It just feels like I’m being squeezed from the middle. Sneezing and coughing are pure torture! Does anyone know what could be causing these back spasms? Is there anything that anyone has found to work for the spasms? I can’t imagine living like this for the rest of my life. P.S. – Can’t get massages because I have Chronic Urticaria (Hives) and any pressure causes a major breakout… my body thinks its under attack and sends tons of histamines. Plus I think Lactic Acid overproduces as well. I’m a mess!

Easy Back Pain Remedies

April 28th, 2010
Kat S asked:




Depending on the condition of your back and the amount of pain you are having please do not attempt to use home remedies without first consulting your Doctor. There are as many home remedies for back pain as there are hairs on our pretty little heads. Back pain can be severe and chronic. For those who live with chronic back pain there isn’t anything they wouldn’t give to end the discomfort.

After being examined by a physician you’ve just found out that the muscles around your spine are contracting. Your have a slip disk in your lower back that keeps you from being as active as you like. How will you get rid of this awful feverish pain?

A drug called Flexeril (a muscle relaxer) will help to ease the pain. Your Doctor may recommend a surgical proceedure that will assist you with your discomfort and agitation. Until he does perform surgery it is a good idea to keep the muscles in your back nice and relaxed. Flexeril is a called a miracle drug by many. And, they are a non-addictive, well-respected, and frequently prescribed drug for those who suffer with this type of pain.

Building up the muscles in the area around your back pain is also a great remedy for chronic back pain. There are simple stretches you can do to contract the muscles in your back. Work your work routine slowly to maximize the results. Again, always consult a physician and in this case a physical therepist who can advise you of the best excersizes for back pain. Follow the Doctors instructions to the letter.

Has your Doctor prescribed a Dexa Scan? Health conscious females would not dream of ever skipping a female examination. But what does a relatively healthy woman know about another very vital health check called the bone density test? If you suffer with chronic back pain and need remedies then don’t rule out any test that might be helpful in determining the best medical plan for improving your condition.

There are a lot of back pain myths out there. Don’t fall for every remedy you hear or read about. The snake oil salesman are still alive and kicking. They’re backs are still in great condition while they prowl the web trying to sell you something that probably won’t work. Stay away from back remedies that promise the world. In most cases your pain will only be postponed if that! In all cases it’s your personal physician that can help you most.

Carisoprodol, Fioricet, Tramadol
