A heating pad or a hot bath may help the spasms ease. See a doctor.

Can someone get your to an ER or an Urgent Care facility? If it's extreme and no one can help, call 911 for help from the EMTs. Please take care of yourself, I'm so sorry you are in such pain.

@Pqfan...!! I am so happy to see you here. I have really missed your posts. You came to the right place. You have many friends here I am sure feel the same way about you as I do.

Now as far as your back... Have you done any kind of unusual activities that you may just have a temporary condition? Also if you don't have a primary care physician you could always go to an Emergi-Med. At times when I cannot see a physician after hours, I have gone to one of them and they were excellent. They are used to dealing with emergencies that pop up that are not life-threatening.

Please, Please keep us posted and don't be a stranger here. I have often thought about you and wondered if you would come back. Sorry, it had to be because you are in pain but I am going to say a prayer that this is all just a temporary situation for you.

@Pqfan So good to see you!

Can you go to the ER? To be in that much pain is terrible.

Do you have epsom salts to put in a warm bath? I agree with using a heating pad also and maybe ibuprofen. Of course, a dr or immediate medical care center would be your best bet if spasms don't subside.

Sorry you are dealing with those. I know how you feel.

I keep having them on my stomach under my left breast where I had pain since I had Shingles. I have also had a few left side back & waist where I had pain.

For some reason I have them near my shin/ankle on right leg & my feet.

It's different when you get a charlie horse in your calf you can walk off but where I have spasms I don't know how to move or stretch to make it stop.

@Pqfan

Don't call your physician. Waste of time.

Go to Urgent Care. (Do not go to ER. Only go to ER, if you are ill.)

thanks so much everyone.

Try ice. On and off until the pain subsides. And ibuprofen every 4 hours don't let it wear off for 24 hours. Good luck hope you feel better

@Pqfan It's not fun having any kind of pain expecially when you have no clue as to what is causing it. It may not be a back issue. Kidney stones can cause such pain. There are many other issues also that it could be rather than back. There has got to be some type of urgent care near where you are. Take an Uber or taxi. If you are a senior citizen you could call your local Office on Aging and they might be able to help with transportation. Please don't suffer alone. Get help.

If you are having pain in the middle of your back between shoulder blades you need to call an ambulance.. You could be having a heart attack.

Hi.

I am feeling a little better today.

I think I pulled a muscle somehow and that caused the spasms.

I have been lifitng alot of heavy things.

I didn't even realize I should not do that anymore like I used to.

Thanks again! <3

@Pqfan

Thank you so much for your update! So glad you are feeling better! What did you do that eased your pain? Was it just time that caused it to get better? You're probably right about it being a muscle spasm from lifting heavy objects! Please know that we care about you!!! We are your friends! You are NOT alone!!
