A member asked:
I woke up to having a really bad muscle spasm in the back of my leg and it hurts really bad and wont relax, could i have caused damage? can i use heat
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat helps. : If you lift and twist much then you may have strained your back muscles and they have spasmed tonight. Heat usually relaxes muscle spasm. Ibuprofen may help with hot shower and heating pad. Good luck.
