Muscle problems


Question Posted Monday July 12 2010, 8:21 am

Hi, over the last couple of months I have been having weired problems with the muscles from the waist up but not my kneck and head.
If I am doing something, and other times not, I will hear a sort of click in one of these mucsles or around that area,all of a sudden I will be in agony from that area for a few days sometimes even a week then it will go away.
I can be fine a few days then it will happen again in a different place.
At the moment I am suffering from one of these spasms in my left side and to cough or lie on my side is agony, this morning it is happening in my middle back as well but not really bad.
I also suffer from OA and my medication is cocodamol 30/500 tramadaol 40 mgs and diclomax,I have been taking these pain killers for a long time now for my arthritus.
Can these be causing my mucsles or bones to act the way they are, life at the moment seems very tiring and painful and I just want it all to stop.

Tramadol can cause uncontrollable shaking of part of the body and muscle tightness. I am not sure what the "click" is....

You said this is in your torso but not the head and neck. This is suggestive that SOMETHING is going on in a particular nerve plexus.

A nerve plexus is a network of intersecting nerves that combine together to serve an area of the body.

The brachial plexus serves the chest, shoulders, arms, and hands. This could suggest that there is a nerve issue within this plexus. The cervical plexus serves the head, neck, and shoulders which do NOT seem to be involved. The lumbar plexus serves the lower part of the body (thighs, groin, legs, feet, etc.) which also does NOT seem to be involved.

You should contact your doctor who treats your arthritis pain and discuss this with him/her. It may or may not be one of your medications but either way, something could possibly be done about these spasms and would improve your quality of life!
