A member asked:

My whole spinal cord mid back keeps cramping up. so painful and radiates to front of my neck and its deep pain. how do i stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Massage therapy: Apparently you have extensive muscle spasm in the back & neck. A warm soak would help. I think you would benefit from a massage therapy session. I'm assuming your pain is not from a back injury of some sort. If it is, then you should start with physical therapy. Hope that helps.
