I have muscle spasms in my lower back and right lev

Hello. Thank you for posting.

Heavy lifting is a common cause of back spasms. Any activity that puts excessive strain on the muscles and ligaments in the lower back can cause an injury. A ruptured or bulging disk in the vertebrae may also pressure a nerve and result in back pain. If your spasms began after an injury or an activity that stressed the muscles, try alternating ice and heat on your back. Ice will help reduce inflammation and heat may help improve blood flow. Medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and muscle relaxants may help relieve symptoms while the muscles heal. You may need to see a doctor if these spasms worsen or there is no improvement.
