Re: (Non-TMI) cramping
(Anonymous) 2015-01-15 04:10 am (UTC)(link)I get trapezius and sternocleidomastoid pain and cramping a lot, so I feel your pain. D:
Mine's pretty chronic due to equally chronic neck/shoulder tension, and when it's bad it's enough to trigger the most godawful headaches along with the muscle spasms.
My doctor's told me to refer myself for physio, but I've yet to do so because of other issues (mostly the same anxiety/agoraphobia disorder that causes the tension in the first place). I've been trying heat rubs over the past few months though as a preventative measure, which actually seems to be helping. Might be something to try in the unfortunate event that this happens to you again?
Re: (Non-TMI) cramping
(Because seriously, if it DOES happen again, I would LOVE to know a trick to fix it. It happens so extremely rarely, it's not worth getting physio for.)
Re: (Non-TMI) cramping
(Anonymous) 2015-01-15 04:23 am (UTC)(link)I use both, depending on the severity (although I think you're not supposed to use both at the same time -- heat makes the stuff in the rubs absorb faster, and the rubs can numb the skin so you can't tell if you're burning/irritating the skin with the heat packs).
I use Deep Heating, which doesn't stain clothes so I can use it any time. It does have that menthol-ey smell though, but usually if you don't use too much it's not bad. Sometimes hot packs are a pest to try and hold in position without causing more tension in the area I'm trying to fix, but they're helpful e.g. when you're trying to sleep. Probably the adhesive heating patches would work too, though they usually don't cover enough area to help much (pretty much my entire upper back/neck/shoulders is a gigantic knotted mess, so... that'd be a lot of patches LOL).
Re: (Non-TMI) cramping
Luckily, my posture is pretty good, and I work out a couple times a week which helps me stretch everything out. I tend to be pretty okay, which is why those random muscle spasms were so strange.
