I have had muscle spasms periodically. They can be painful especially if you're laying down ready for bed those are the ones that irritate me the most. If it's a spasm, I can wrap a hot moist towel around it for about 20 min them I massage the area with some lavender oil. Spasm's you can see when you look at the muscle the muscle may visibly seize up or bulge and often involve the calves, feet, or hamstrings, mine are mostly in the calves. Muscle cramps are like the muscle twitching, like when your eye lid twitches for no reason, I know it's annoying, but it goes away. I have increased my medications to include Magnesium and Potassium along with routine Centrum multivitamin. I did read an article that indicated that increased stress and anxiety can play a part in the cramping. Drink lots of fluids get plenty of sleep and don't push yourself too hard.
What you're describing sounds like it could be muscle spasms or cramps, which are very common with MS. Because MS disrupts the signals between your brain and your body, your muscles can sometimes contract involuntarily and intensely — like they're being squeezed from the inside.

Try drinking more water and having more potassium in your diet. I eat a banana and that helps. Hope you feel better soon
Samira your machine sounds good if it works then it's great
Thanks for info...😄😄
Hi. I have this accu pen which gently sends electrical currents to relax the muscle. I have the same issue as it occurs at night. Also, I eat bananas for potassium as that helps.
