i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. muscle spasms can be very painful and it's miserable to feel you have to monitor every movement to make sure your back doesn't seize up again! i'd suggest you return to your health care provider to discuss this issue. your provider may want to prescribe physical therapy or recommend certain range-of-motion exercises to help you get back to normal. your provider also may want to evaluate your posture and " body mechanics " which means the way you move. practicing good body mechanics is essential for preventing back pain and injury. i hope you're able to get this problem resolved soon! yes this is exactly what i have but i also have scoliosis the worst kind some exercises are out of range for me mainly the ones you have to twist and stretch fighting battle for me.
what are the lasting effects of upper back spasms/seized muscles? right arm and upper back still feel tight after months. my upper right side of my back seized up in early january of this year. i went to the doctor for relief. was prescribed muscle relaxers and pain medication. these helped loosen the primary incident. however to this day certain movements of my right arm will still trigger my muscles to start to tighten up. parts of my right upper chest are still very sensitive as well. what can i do to help get my muscles back to feeling like they're not a moments away from locking up again?
