Hello, I am vegetarian, I am getting muscle spasm very frequently. What should I do? Muscle spasms range in intensity from mild, uncomfortable twitches to significant discomfort to intense, severe pain. The spastic muscle sometimes feel harder than normal to touch and appear visibly distorted. What should I do?

@atharva There’s no pill or injection that instantly relieves muscle spasms, so the best thing you can do is stretch your affected muscle and massage it. If it’s in your leg, get up and walk around. Try applying ice or heat (take a warm bath or use a heating pad). Sometimes a muscle spasm can be prevented – stopped before it ever happens. When a spasm strikes, you might be exercising, simply sitting or even sleeping in the middle of the night. If only there was a magical injection that could instantly relieve your pain! There are, however, five steps you can take to try to get rid of the spasm:
Stretch the affected area.
Massage the affected area with your hands or a massage roller.
Stand up and walk around.
Apply heat or ice. Put an ice pack together or apply a heating pad, or take a nice warm bath.
Take painkillers such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
