Do muscle spasms always hurt?
My Doctor said my back is in spasm, but its not hurting me any longer. Hes given me strong muscle relaxants to take, but I am reluctant to take them if he is wrong. These drugs are highly addictive.
How do you know if a muscle is in spasm, I always thought that pain was the sign? Does tension in the muscles mean the same as spasm and can you tell by just feeling if spasm is going on, or does it need to be scanned etc.? I was in excrutiating pain initially that twisted my back and neck, the pain has eased down now, but the twist is still there and very debilitating. Thanks."
