Radiculopathy: Your symptoms may reflect a lumbar radiculopathy (nerve symptoms due to a pinched nerve in your lumbar spine).  In most cases conservative treatment works - physical therapy, medications, spinal injections - but in some cases it does take surgery for resolution.  See your doctor for further evaluation to nail down the diagnosis and treatment options.

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Meds you are taking may interfere with some food absorption including calcium.  Try chewing tums (calcium carbonate) with each meal. Also increase potassium intake by eating 2 oranges daily or other foods rich in potasium.  Muscle strains and pinched nerves can also cause muscle spasms. If symptoms do not improve, then exam, blood test, and other tests may be needed.

Question 9

have been having muscle spasms on the back of my right thigh right underneath my buttcheek off and on for hours now. is there usually any concerns with muscle spasms?

Accepted Answer

: Muscle spasms are quite common in otherwise healthy people. Sometimes these occur due to electrolyte imbalance but most often the cause is difficult to find. One medicine that works well is quinine  taken as a prescription from your family doctor or you can try using Tonic water which also contains quinine.
If taking this helps, you can use it as needed.
