My mom has fibromyalgia and muscle spasms through the years she's managed with her pain by using all sorts of things. She has a TENS unit that people can now buy in drugstores. She also used heating pads and cold packs. Lidocaine patches help but recently she found a roll on type of Lidocaine that really works for her. It's the Aspercreme brand. Also at her physical therapy they used 'cupping' on her. They are suction cups to be placed on or around painful areas, this has been like a miracle help for her. Joy
