General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-cold therapy:appl ice wrapped in a protective sheath or towel, or a cold pack, to the painful part
-heat therapy:
-walking
-anti-inflammatory medication.
- physical therapy can help prevent future spasms.
-muscle relaxants:these are prescription medications that do not directly target the muscles; rather, they have an overall relaxing affect on your body. Some examples of muscle relaxants medications include Valium and Flexeril.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
