Answers:
Trauma can cause a muscle spasm if you've stretched it too far or over-worked it!. Even a minor injury can cause pain to the muscle which makes it tighten up which leads to more pain, the muscle gets locked in this cycle which causes spasms as the muscle continues to tighten up!.

If you are experiencing muscle spasms rest that muscle and put some ice on it!. If that doesn't seem to work, apply ice for 15 minutes (or for as long as you can tolerate but NO more than 15 minutes), heat for 15 minutes, and ice again for 15 minutes!. This causes the blood vessels to contract and dilate which helps to interrupt the cycle of pain!. Ibuprofen can also be taken to help reduce inflammation!.

Consult your doctor if it gets worse or doesn't go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
