Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Recurrent muscle spasms can be due to benign causes like electrolyte imbalances of vitamin B 12 deficiency. It can also be related to serious causes like myositis. You need to get her examined by a neurologist for proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
