A member asked:
Why does my right shoulder muscle spasm periodically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Many things, usually if you work with any muscle and it fatigues it can spasm. Common in calf muscles, quad muscles after running around all day. Common in ab muscles if you started a new sit-up program, etc. Outside of that if it is not painful wouldnt worry about it. Stay hydrated and eat a banana to keep electrolytes up.
