The best suggestion I have is ICE. Yes indeed. Something that simple can make a huge difference. Unfortunately the results don't last that long, but at least it's non-invasive and can make the spasms disapate for a time. Being that it's such an easy thing to do I personally recommend it highly. Just lay down putting the ice on whatever part of your back the spasms are stemming from for about 20 minutes. Hopefully you'll be surprised at the results. Best of luck to you and all of us!

I want to go into my appt. with an idea of what to ask for, my family doctor is usually pretty accomodating when I ask to try new things to get relief. What's worked for others?
Thank you, Cathie
