Muscle spasms
by Mary Bohley
(Berlin, MD. USA)
I suffer with muscles, located near and around the scapula, that spasm. It comes on when I am standing for lengths of time. It lasts all day and sometimes wakes me in the night. It can last for weeks and is very draining. I have had Botox injections with a pain management doctor and they helped in the beginning for about 5 - 6 months. But that has not been helping lately. I have tried physical therapy and they massage the muscles in the back and that is wonderful. However, it does not last. I spend most of my time sitting on the sofa with a heating pad to get relief. I have a mild case of scoliosis and also osteoporosis. Do you know of other people who suffer with this? also, is there anything out there that might help me?
