Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Spasms: Most likely cause is muscle spasms which can be painful and that should be evaluated to determine the cause. Treatment may include physical therapy and medication.

Exam required: may be due to metabolic causes, neurological causes, stress, tension, anxiety, poor sleep, nutrition, alcohol or drug use. I suggest a complete physical exam.
