[__ Prayer __] nerve issue

[jasonc]

For a week I have had a spasm in my right thigh

Eat a banana.

You need potassium.

Apply deep muscle therapy to the pressure point associated with where the spasm is to loosen it. Your elbow, your wife's elbow, or a hard rubber ball ( I use a croquet ball) are good tools for applying the intense pressure required in deep muscle therapy.

You're describing is a chronic condition, or the beginning of one, brought on by repeated stress to unhealed, inadequately rested muscles which causes the muscle to stay in a state of tightened spasm. I injured muscles in my back many years ago, but I kept using them until the injuries became a chronic condition that left me pretty much useless and in an almost constant debilitating pain. Deep muscle massage on muscle trigger points is what finally made me useful again and free of the debilitating pain and freed me up to then strengthen the muscles.

Through repeated abuse injured muscles that aren't allowed to heal tighten more and more and lose their elasticity, pinching nerves passing through the muscle tissue, and cutting off adequate blood supplies drying up those muscles and surrounding muscles. Even the simplest of exercises and stretches just send the muscles further into the vicious cycle of use and the corresponding tightening of the muscle in response to that use.

What deep muscle tissue massage does is it literally, physically breaks the dry, stiff, stuck together fibers of the muscles apart without actually using the muscle (which is what triggers the muscles protective spasm response). The breaking apart of the tissues allows blood flow and pressure on nerves to return to normal, and relax it, relieving the spasm, providing the conditions necessary to fuel the muscles rest and rehabilitation.

Okay, so I've made my post too long....

I understand what I must do. I know about muscle knots and that is what you described. I have myofascitis in my neck muscles that is from my car wreck. it is helped by massaging but its also caused by the muscle wanting to expand outside of its sac and then simply pulsing because it can and thus knots are formed from the spasms.

Massive amounts of IP224 and pickle juice. May God grant you rest as a gift.
