Question 1

why does my leg have shakes or muscle spasms since i fractured that pelvis?

Accepted Answer

Lack of use/injury: Either disuse atrophy with fasciculations or nerve compression/injury are most likely responsible. Ask your physician. Swelling of injured nerves may resolve with decreased spasms. Physcial therapy with building up of "lost" muscle may also help.

Question 2

why am i having compression fractures in my spine along with pain in pelvic area, muscle spasms in feet, legs, and tendon area?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: All those symptoms appear unrelated. It is very unusual for someone of your age to have spinal compression fractures without significant trauma. So if you really do have compression fractures, you need to find out what is causing those fractures? You will need to undergo a physical exam, and various diagnostic work-up, to understand what's is causing these issues.

Question 3

muscle  spasm  of  the  upper  portion  of  the  r.  thigh  after  2nd  hip  replacement.  march '09.  revision june '09, fractured  trochanter?

Accepted Answer

See your surgeon: Are you asking what you should do for your muscle spasms or are you asking if your greater trochanter ostetomy or fracture is the culprit? If your spasms in your thigh are frequent and/ or worsening or associated w/ weight bearing than see your treating orthopedic surgeon for treatment. Best of luck!

Question 4

Rest and stay in the: Splint or cast that has been given to you, as these last for maybe a week or so. Muscle relaxers would be helpful.
If no relief after a few days or if getting worse, check with your orthopod, as the fx bones may have lost the position, is gotten displaced.

Accepted Answer

See a neurologist: You're developing a tremor or some kind of hyperkinetic or dyskinetic movement disorder. It may be benign &amp; treatable with meds, or it may be a sign of something more serious. Can't tell based on your post. There's no treatment without diagnosis; in other words, you can't make "it" stop without knowing what "it" is. You need to find out.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Stress fracture: Stress fractures can certainly cause muscle spasms in the muscles that attach to the area of the fracture.

Accepted Answer

Several choices: Fractures of bones can cause showers  of fatty particles traveling to brain (fat emboli) resulting in multiple, simultaneous small strokes bring on cognitive decline. Sometimes people on the verge of clinical alzheimers (or other dementias) become rapidly symptomatic after such a major trauma absent any direct brain injury. Have neurology consult done.

Question 8

can one have parkinson's and lupus? xray hip fractures in ball and socket. sleep apnea right leg tremors now left has started.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes but lupus may also have neurologic complications that resemble parkinsonism.

Question 9

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 10

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.
