tis is wht i found

Spasms may occur when a muscle is overused and tired,
particularly if it is overstretched or if it has been
held in the same position for a prolonged period of time. I

n effect, the muscle cell runs out of energy and fluid
and becomes hyperexcitable, resulting in a forceful contraction.
This spasm may involve part of a muscle, the whole muscle,
or even adjacent muscles.

Overuse as a cause of skeletal muscle spasm is often seen
in athletes who are doing strenuous exercise in a hot environment.
This is also an occupational issue with construction workers or
others working in a hot environment. Usually, the spasms will
occur in the large muscles that are being asked to do the work.

Overuse can also occur with routine daily activities like
shoveling snow, or mowing or raking grass, causing muscle
spasms of the neck, shoulder, and back.

Unfamiliar exercise activities can also cause muscle spasms
to occur. Abdominal spasms can occur when a person decides
to begin working their abdominal muscles by doing situps
and does too many too quickly.

It is commonly thought that dehydration and depletion
of electrolytes will lead to muscle spasm and cramping.
Muscle cells require enough water, glucose, sodium,
potassium, calcium, and magnesium to allow the proteins
within them to interact and develop an organized contraction.
Abnormal supply of these elements can cause the muscle to
become irritable and go into spasm.

Many patients seek care for more chronic neck and back
pain because of recurrent muscles spasms. Large muscle groups
make up the trunk, including the neck (for example, trapezius muscle),
chest wall, upper back, and lower back (such as the latissimus dorsi muscle).
Muscle spasms in these muscles can be a result of an injury or
they may develop over time because of arthritic changes in the spine.
Systemic illnesses like diabetes, anemia (low red blood cell count),
kidney disease and thyroid and other hormone issues are also potential
causes of muscle spasms.

& so on & so on & so on..

so, whts e cause of mine...?

dehydration? overuse? unfamiliar exercise activities?
insufficient of ? glucose? sodium? potassium?
calcium? and magnesium? diabetes? anemia?
kidney disease? thyroid?

sigh..
