A member asked:
How long does a muscle a spasm last in the lower back area? i been having it for two days now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No time limit: Muscle spasms can persist as long as the underlying cause is present. So find out the cause and correct it. Is it bad body mechanics? Obesity? Physical deconditioning? Herniated disc? Inflammatory arthritis? If you can't figure this out, see your doctor.
