Muscle Spasms
Muscle spasms, also known as muscle cramps, can be a symptom of paresthesia. A muscle spasm is an involuntary repetitive movement or contraction of a muscle that is usually quite painful.
Muscle spasms can be either brief or long-lasting. Gently stretching or massaging the affected limb may help relieve the discomfort of a muscle cramp. If the spasm persists, it may be a sign of chronic paresthesia, and medical attention should be sought.
