Doctors’ responses

Severe back spasms that make it difficult to stand or walk, despite normal X-rays and calcium levels, could be due to muscle strain, nerve compression (such as a herniated disc or sciatica), or conditions like fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome. Since you have thyroid issues, hypothyroidism can sometimes contribute to muscle weakness and cramps. Long hours of standing as a teacher may also strain your lower back, leading to muscle fatigue and spasms. Physiotherapy is a good step, but if your pain persists, further investigations like an MRI may help identify nerve-related problems or disc issues. In addition to physiotherapy, consider gentle stretching, core-strengthening exercises, and using a lumbar support belt while teaching. Heat therapy, magnesium supplementation (if deficient), and posture correction may also provide relief. If your pain continues despite treatment, consult a neurologist or orthopedic specialist to rule out nerve compression or spinal issues. Adjusting your thyroid medication (if needed) and incorporating relaxation techniques like yoga may also help in managing muscle tightness and spasms.
