A member asked:
From time to time i have short spastic muscles pain usually in the legs. can it possibly be ms and/or parkinson's disease?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
MS and Parkinson's: would be remote considerations compared with more common causes given the medication list and current conditions. Check labs first.

Likely cramps: See your internist and address your back pain, and obesity. An exercise program may be beneficial, and OTC supplements containing magnesium, calcium, and zinc might also help. Nothing mentioned so far would have me concerned regarding MS or Parkinson's disease.
