muscle spasm

last friday was one of the many friday offs of this month.

i had plans.

i had MANY wonderful great plans - one of which to spring clean the house and IKEA shopping with hubby and kids.

kita hanya merancang - Allah yg menentukan... huhuhuuu...

jatuh tepat pada hari jumaat petang, maka aku pun mendapat satu sakit yang amat iaitu lower back muscle spasm!
masyaAllah!!! sakit nya teramat la

apo bondo tuh?


What is a muscle spasm?

A muscle spasm or cramp is an involuntary contraction of a muscle. Muscle spasms occur suddenly, usually resolve quickly, and are often painful.
A muscle spasm is different than a muscle twitch. A muscle twitch or fasciculation is uncontrolled fine movement of a small segment of a larger muscle that can be seen under the skin.


What causes a muscle spasm?

There are a variety of causes of muscle spasms, and each cause depends on certain predisposing factors and anatomic areas of involvement.

Spasms can 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. In effect, the muscle cell runs out of energy and fluid and becomes hyperexcitable and develops 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, especially roofers. Usually, the spasms will occur in the large muscles that are being asked to do the work.


Painful?

how did i get it?
aku meniarap lama main PSP (padan muka aku! muahahahaa)

so, my brilliant plans all went into the drain!
