Muscle Spasms
Posted , 6 users are following.
I was diagnosed in May of this year. Back in Febuary when the symptoms developed, I started having horrible muscle spasms from my feet to my hips. Sometimes they are so sever I can't walk, can't stand up. Can take up to 20 min. before I get the muscles to release. Pain is excruciating. Is this common? I have been taking extra magnesium and eating a couple of bananas a day for the potassium. Helps some.

Yes, to be accurate mine was 'dry needling' too. I could certainly tell when my physio found these tight muscles, as he would press on them and it was very painful. The needling certainly seemed to relax them, and the following day, I felt the benefit. Also, like you I did the wrapped hot water bottle in strategic places and it also helped a lot.

That was my pain exactly when I was diagnosed in December 2015. Feet, legs, hips, glutes. Also my hands. I could barely walk and knew something was wrong. It had been going on for several weeks before I saw my primary care dr. After doing bloodwork I was sent to a rheumatologist because my inflammation markers were high. That's when I was diagnosed with pmr. Recently reduced to 2.5 mgs prednisone but it's not doing the trick anymore. Bad feet, hip and glute pain again. Ugh!
