Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Muscle spasm: Muscle contractions that occur unexpectedly and without warning can be unpleasant and uncomfortable. Muscle spasms can occur when the nerve signals that control muscle action are disrupted or stopped. Muscle tightness, joint stiffness, atypical posture, trouble moving, and discomfort in afflicted muscles and joints are all symptoms. Muscle spasms can be triggered by fatigue (weakness), stress, excessive heat or cold, illness, and tight clothing. Muscular relaxants and exercise can both be used to treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants numb the muscle and aid in preventing unpleasant contractions. Exercise helps muscles stretch, making them less prone to spasms, tears, or sprains.
