Question 1

how do i get rid of muscle spasms under armpit?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Sounds very uncomfortable, please see your doctor to assure this is not something more serious than an armpit cramp&gt;&gt;&gt;.

Question 2

back and shoulders are knotted up from muscle spasms. i have ms. why would the area feel hot to touch, but no where else? i'm currently relapsing.

Accepted Answer

Hot: Localized increase in temperature may represent localized infection called cellulitis. Seek medical attention

Question 3

hip/ butt muscle spasms on left side like charlie horse.  recent ms dx. possible symptom? very painful lasted 2 days already. suggestions?

Accepted Answer

SOME THOTS: Pain is very common in ms, and can present numerous ways, and even migraine is present in ms pts at a frequency of 2-4 times normals.  However, your muscle spasms could represent a separate process in hip, back, pelvis. (unlikely, but if you were given steroids, check for avascular necrosis in hip).  Lastly, do not want to second guess your doc, but there are oral meds now (no needles).

Question 4

i have been diganosed with both trigeminal neralgia and occipital neuralgia. i also have some memory problems and muscle spasms . could i have ms?

Accepted Answer

Consult Neurologist: Trgeminal neuralgia has been reported in patients with ms.You have to ask this question from your neyrologist as he/she is the only one can tell you if you do or not based on your symptoms, examination and MRI exam etc .
So consult your neurologist about ms and you.

Question 5

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 6

good morning, it's been a while i have symptoms of eye muscle spasm in my right eye feels like sharp sticking a needle, is this one of the symptoms of ms? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: A leading symptom of "MS" is intranuclear ophthalmoplegia, but this is usually non-painful, and can be elicited by a simple eye exam by a neurologist (lateral gaze nystagmus).  Simple muscle spasm which is painful is usually not a symptom of "MS".  Get a referral to a neurologist or ophthalmologist.

Question 7

could i have multiple sclerosis even if my mri was normal? i have a lot of the symptoms (muscle spasm, weakness, tingling down my back and legs), but my mri didnt show anything. can an mri miss ms?

Accepted Answer

This : This is very, very tricky. Yes, there are reported cases of mri-negative ms, but they are very rare, so it is paramount to rule out other conditions. It also helps if you get your MRI done on a 3 tesla magnet, which provides higher resolution and better detail than lower strength magnets.

Question 8

im scared i have ms or parkinsons. im coming off the med geodon and i am having muscle spasms, twitching and tingling. i cant see the neurologist until nov. does this sound like either disease? or withdrawal? both have same sx?

Accepted Answer

: If you were on high dose of Geodon, those symptoms could be withdrawal symptoms, do not imagine such worst conditions.

Question 9

how can i control muscle spasms numbness on one side hugging sensation on one side dancing movements change in walk. all tests come up neg. blood mris emg ct heart test no heart attach or stroke not ms als mg what could be causing this ?

Accepted Answer

Myoclonic seizures?: You may be experiencing a form of limited or localized seizure disorder known as "myoclonus" (muscle-centered), which is a form of epilepsy (sudden increase in  electric activity in some areas of the brain). If this is the case with you, it can be treated with anticonvulsants. Consult a neurologist.

Question 10

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
