A member asked:
Might it be possible that a bad back cause cramping of muscles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back spasm: Yes. One of the methods to prevent back spasm is avoiding strain, sudden movements, bending, stooping and strengthening your core muscles with exercise and stretching to avoid the muscles going into spasm. Once you have had a bad back spasm, you really want to do everything to avoid it in the future. Treat early with ice for 48 hours then warm. Massage if it is not too bad can help. Nsaids.
