I know it seems an odd question but what is a spasm? Is it different to a teitch or jerk ? If I walk for more than 200m or so my thigh muscle feels very tight and painful as though I have done hours in the gym and even sitting becomes difficult because of the pain. Does this sound like a spasm or something else? I’m wondering what to call it at my neurology appointment. Thanks in advance
Sounds like a spasm to me.
A Spasm is basicly an involuntary contraction of a muscle…it occurs suddenly, usually resolves quickly and is often painful.
Hope that helps
Thank you that does help
Hi, I`ve had and still get spasms. Nowadays they happen in my feet. My toes spread and pull away from my feet it hurts like chuff and I stop it by changing my position. As I am immobile, that can take a bit of time!
I also get spasms in my bladder when going for a no 2.!
I get a feeling of immense pressure and somehow it also goes into my hands…weird and freaky indeed! But they soon pass.

Thanks. I get the toe thing in one foot where my second toe pulls down and away from the others I thought it was cramp and wondered why nobody else got it.
