Members overwhelmingly confirmed that muscle spasms are a common and often debilitating symptom of fibromyalgia, with many experiencing spasms throughout their bodies including the back, neck, shoulders, legs, feet, and even under the ribcage. Several members shared treatments that have helped them find relief, including muscle relaxers like Flexeril and Soma, magnesium or potassium supplements, chiropractic care with STEM treatments, Epsom salt baths, hot tub therapy, and medications like Lyrica or Neurontin for nerve-related pain. A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of fibromyalgia spasms, the importance of checking for vitamin deficiencies that may worsen symptoms, and the value of combining multiple approaches to manage the constant tightness and pain.
