Question 4

i am having this tingling and burning sensation in my right thumb, plus muscle spasms on my upper arm and shoulder in same right arm probably out my constant daily push ups. the thumb tingling and burning sensation is a little more constant now?

Accepted Answer

: You likely have developed peripheral nerve problem and would wonder about carpal tunnel syndrome.  Since this could also involve brachial plexus, neck, and other areas, it is most efficient to see your doctor, get examined, and decide if an EMG test might be the next step.

Question 5

is there one medicine for spasticity and muscle spasms? associated with neuropathy. which is recommended??

Accepted Answer

No: There are multiple medications we use for muscle spasticity to varying degrees of help including flexeril, zanaflex, soma, baclofen, Valium, and skelaxin (metaxalone) just to name a few.  Discuss directly with your doctor what would be best for you.

Question 6

muscle spasms for about a week now and my arm is becoming numb now and then. is there anything i should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

? nerve pinching: Based upon general description, it is quite difficult to pin down your issues, but would wonder about nerve compressions at wrist, elbow, or shoulder.  If the numbness becomes more persistent and weakness accompanies, would seek out neurological attention.
Testing and interventional therapy may well reverse these changes.  Perhaps start with a virtual consultation here at HT.

Question 7

have muscle spasms and twitches in my arm for past hour what could that be from ? feels like keeps bubbling

Accepted Answer

Fasciculations: Muscle fasciculations is a medical term for "muscle twitching." These are basically involuntary muscle contractions. Many things can cause them, including fluid and electrolyte problems, too much caffeine (or other stimulants), neurologic disorders, psychiatric disorders, and sleep deprivation. Also, over-exertion from exercise to a muscle group can cause it too. See your doctor soon.

Question 8

w and arms?hat causes muscle spasms inn your biceps, hands osteoarthritius

Accepted Answer

See Doctor: Muscles in our body contract and relax consciously and unconsciously. A muscle that involuntarily contracts without our consciously willing it is called a "spasm." if the muscle maintains a sustained "spasm", it becomes a cramp, as can be seen with exercise. Causes: overuse, neck and back problems, posture, fatigue, diminished blood supply, injury, metabolite imbalance and certain diseases.

Question 9

what do i do if i keep on getting muscle spasms on my arm?

Accepted Answer

Be seen: You might want to be seen and evaluated for any potential underlying cause to your problem; such as a pinched nerve or torn ligament.  Short of that, muscle spasms can often be relieved by moist heat, massage, or a muscle relaxant.

Question 10
