A member asked:
Severe pain and tightness in trapezius muscles both sides. makes arms painful and weak. what can help this pain at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: or tightness is CYCLIC Pain leads to spasm leads to more pain and this CIRCLE must be broken. Most TRUE muscle RELAXANTS have many side effects and some (like Valium) are ADDICTIVE> HEAT particularly WET HEAT is a VERY effective treatment of the spasm and IBUPROFEN a very effective relief of muscle pain Suggest you use both!' Hope this helps Dr Z
