My doc says muscle soreness/issues can cause nerve issues. how?

See below: Muscle spasm can irritate nerves that pass through or near the muscle.

No: Muscle soreness can be from a nerve issue, not the other way around. Maybe you misheard the doctor. Muscle soreness may be from overuse, thyroid problems, rare muscle diseases or simple dietary treatments such as balancing your diet. I would get another opinion if the doctor said that muscle problems cause nerve problems.
