Key points

  • Involuntary contractions can twist a body part into an unusual position, cause tremors, or trigger uncontrolled blinking, and may be continuous or come and go.
  • Triggers such as tiredness, stress, caffeine, or repetitive activities like typing can set off or worsen a spasm.
  • Muscle spasms linked to a neurological condition are usually lifelong, though symptoms may ease over time with treatment.
  • Whole-body muscle pain can signal an underlying issue such as an infection.
