Chalis-can you please mention whose post you are trying to respond to? Or

maybew quote a line or two of the post you are answering? Thanks

I don't know if this is for me or not but I will say that when a muscle is

spasing, there is no pain. At that point it would probably be considered a

cramp. For those who have had children or been pregnant, it feels like the

baby kicking when your four or five months pregnant...exept for me, it's in

my leg muscles-usually my left one.

Hi ,

That post was just an open post, not a reply to anyone and that's why there was no quoted line. ) So, yes, it was to you and everyone else who happened across it. lol

Thank you for your experience. I do know the feeling you describe. I like it much better when the spasms lack the pain. lol
