Are you using ice? It's the most effective things for muscle spasms. And if you can get someone to help you, do heat, then ice, always ending with ice.
Heat for 2 minutes, then ice for one minute. Do this about ten times each. What this does is move the blodd in and out of the tissues, sort of like a massage, but without manipulation of any kind. Again, end with ice.
Both my husband and I get muscle spasms. Ice is ESSENTIAL, especially after adjustments. We have four ice packs in the freezer.
Once the spasms have calmed down, then use whatever feels best, heat or ice. But while they are still happening, ice really is best.
Take care, gg, and forgive me if I have just told you things you already know.
And by the way, the leaving instead of inquiring about where your T was? I've done that. I would sit there and say to myself, well, he obviously doesn't care about me at all, now does he? He is just going to leave me sit here, isn't he? He'll see me at his convenience, won't he? Hrmph. Well. Hrmph. Hrmph. I think I'll just leave. He won't care, will he?
Etc. Etc. Etc.
