Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Spasms
Can be due to your posture.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to repetitive stress on muscles which can be given by your posture. Decrease in vitamin D or calcium can make more prone to such injuries.
You can check your vitamin D levels. If it is below 20 then taking vitamin D supplements will be helpful. You don't need separate potassium supplements. You can take bananas or dates or green leafy vegetables for potassium.
Giving enough exercises for back muscles after you recover from this will be helpful not to get such episodes. You can lie down on back and perform such back muscle strengthening exercise.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I have both vitamin D & calcium deficiency. My Vitamin d was 24 when I git it tested a few months ago. I guess I will start with both supplements today itself. Is Vit D3 the right one to take. I currently take multivitamins and Vit C supplements as Im aheavy smoker. Do you think smoking could have caused this. I really want to give up smoking.
Regarding the posture - is my work posture (sitting on a sofa with the back relaxed and not straight) with laptopn in my lap and legs propped / supported on an exercise ball (which i use as a leg support) bad for me ? Where can I do research for posture & back strengthening exercises and how soon can I start as my back feels better today but not completely healed ?
You can take vitamin d3

Welcome again.
Thank you for your follow up query.
You can take vitamin d3 and vitamin c supplements. Vitamin C should not be exceeded more than 100 mg per day.
Don't remain on one posture all time. Change posture every fifteen minutes. You can give Some stretching for back , hands and legs at intervals. Make your self enough hydrated. Better to take plain water for this. Posture which gives curving of back for long time is not good. It is bad for intervertebral discs.
You can start back strengthening exercises 1 to 2 weeks after recovering from your back pain. You can get tips for doing exercise from sites like http://www.spine-health.com/wellness/exercise/backstrengthening exercises.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.

Thank you for your follow up query.
The calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements combination you can take twice daily. Only 1 mg per Kg weight of body vitamin c is necessary for the body. The excess ones will be excreted through urine. So if you take 1000 mg Daily there is risk for kidney stone formation. 100 mg will be enough. Usually such mega doses 1000 mg is recommended when you getting cold.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
