What Causes Muscular Spasms In The Legs, Arms And Back?

I am having sensations in my legs, arms, and back. It is more of a radiating sensation that can be painful. It is not as bad when I am laying down. The pain in my legs and arms are mostly along the back and almost feels muscular and in the joints. I notice the pain in my legs when I sit on the toilet at the point when my legs meet the toilet seat. I have relapsing MS, but have never felt these symptoms before.

Hi,

Noted the history of pains in the legs, arms, back, history of MS, pain is muscular and in joints.
The probable causes are as follows:
Viral myalgia and joint pains.
Fibromyalgia due to stress and anxiety.
Vitamin D deficiency
Any neurological cause that a Neurologist can help with in proper diagnosis and management.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your routine Doctor first to have proper clinical evaluation, examination and undergo primary investigations.
To get started on proper anti-inflammatory and painkiller properties.
Actual diagnosis will help to get started with proper medications as per the cause found.
Also take supplements of Vitamin D, other vitamins and mineral.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
