Stabbing pains neck and hip

[hope23]

Looks like we have three separate muscle symptoms here - related or not. Stabbing, cramp and spasming. Be interesting to know what causes them and if a fix for one helps the other.

For me personally, a combination of a magnesium supplement and magnesium cream helps with frequency and severity of botht the spasms and the cramps, orphenadrine or norflex helps the spasms a lot.
I have also recently started using Zostrix, the 0.025% which has greatly help with those deep down close to bone sustained muscle cramps and tightness, i do however have surface sensation issues which makes using th Zostrix not unpleasant, if you have full surface sensation i would be cautious and try on a small spot first, otherwise i would liken it to a burning sensation not just hot but genuinely burning, i got a small amount under a ring on my finger and my finger was on FIRE, also it goes without saying wash you hands THOROUGHLY after applying
