Question 1

muscle spasms legs, feet and side back come and go, mild but noticeable. had for 1 month. is it ms, als will i get paralysed ?

Accepted Answer

No: Someone has been reading too many medical horror stories. It is mega highly unlikely that spasms in an otherwise healthy 20 year old represent anything but overuse or electrolyte disturbance. The diseases you mention generally do not begin like that. See your family doc for an evaluation and reassurance of the correct diagnosis, so you can get this problem resolved.

Question 2

do i have a vitamin b12 deficiency or ms? im 19, female with tingling, numbness in head/scalp, feet, legs, and hands. muscle spasm? anxiety maybe?

Accepted Answer

Most likely anxiety: Most likely anxiety but a good idea to get checked out by the physician and try to rule out some of those other possibilities

Question 3

numb/tingling in hands, legs, and feet on both sides. muscle spasms in legs, back and arms. loss of balance, dizzy, stiff. is it neuropathy or ms?

Accepted Answer

Bad choices: You probably don't need or want to pick A or B. Both require a doctor's DX and TX and it might be another thing altogether. A common cause of neuropathy is a diabetic condition w/ other signs too - are you a diabetic? Get into care if 'yes'! MS usually starts a bit later in age. Have an exam to find an answer. Best!

Question 4

on left foot, toe next to big toe has been numb for a month. muscle spasms with same toe since 2006. what does this mean? any connection?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: You are probably pinching the nerve between your 2nd & 3rd toes.  Your disc problem is another consideration. See if certain shoes aggravate problem. A shoe insert and or shot between the toes may help.Sometimes the nerve entrapment needs to be released. Sorry, nerve symptoms and problems are hard to decipher & diagnose online -  nerves have a mind of their own (literally).

Question 5

removing plate&5screws frm 5th met help with pain and muscle spasms in foot?

Accepted Answer

It is possible : Given the information you have provided the best I can come up with is it might.

Question 6

what're the muscle spasms called in your foot?

Accepted Answer

Cramp: Usually when a spasm occurs it creates cramping of the muscles.

Question 7

why do i get these painful muscle spasms in my foot?

Accepted Answer

Fatigue: Usually the foot begins to cramp when you have changed the way you walk either from an injury  or possibly from just being more active. The muscles get fatigued and generally need more support. Try some of the off the shelf shoe inserts with plastic arch supports in them. If this does not work you may need to see a podiatrist for custom orthotics.

Question 8

i have continuous pain and muscle spasms on my entire right side body  (from head to toe). what is it? drs can't find a diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Good question!: More history would be helpful including when it started etc.   There are lesions in the brain which could result in one sided pain or muscle spasms., but they are quite rare.   I would tend to look for a practitioner skilled in Chinese medicine/acupuncture for a possible solution.   Another option might be a somatization disorder related to previous trauma coming from your right side.

Question 9

how can i reduce the cramps/muscle spasms in my foot during ballet?

Accepted Answer

Warm up before.: In some cases insufficient warm up prior to your dance activities.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Talk to rheumatology: Consider a consultation with rheumatology.  Many celiac patients have other autoimmune and inflammatory disease-like symptoms and presentation.
