Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your muscle spasm.

As per you history it is suggestive of acute muscle spasm either due to the some heavy weight or because of the ill maintained posture for two long.

You need to apply a hot pack to the area three to four times daily for at least ten minutes each time to get it relaxed.

Change your posture for work or the place where from you watch TV or sit continuously. You can take muscle relaxants like Thiochochicene combination with anti inflammatory drugs like Accelofenac provided you are non allergic to it and are not taking any medication for other reasons, even have no chronic disease associated mostly related to liver and GI tract.

Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further questions.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
