What is muscle spasm?

i have them.. its where your muscles like tense up and feel like they are twisting into knots.. you can even feel knots sometimes if you try to rub the area.. its very painful and it can happen to anyone and some times a medication will help.. some times a hot bath will relax the muscles.. some times massage etc..

Most of the time, this kind of illness happens to boxers.. It's very common among them when they reach certain ages, and i dunno the actual reason why.. All i know is that, they are unable to contol the movements of the muscles and thee's basically no cure for it.. The best it can be done is to keep it under control thru medication.. It's not something serious but it do affect our daily lives as it can happen anytime.. For those luckily ones, it will only affect their facial muscles.. But if one does not bother about their condition, it can become a stroke, very easily..

Because my cerebral palsy (a neurological condition I've had since birth), I have muscle spasms several times a day. It's basically involuntary twitching of muscle fibers that results in involuntary movement. Spasms are sometimes painful; sometimes not. Most of mine are not, thankfully. People with disabilities, people who exercise, or get injured can have spasms.

I think anytime you have a charlie horse or a cramp in your leg you have a muscle spasm. It is just the muscles cramping and going into a point where they cant be used on a regular basis. I think they are frequent and can happen to anybody at any age. They are painful and most people would not want to experience them.
