Try to hold their arm still (if the spasm is in the arm) by holding the bottom part of their elbow and the top part (when u bend your elbow the bottom is what OTHER people can c, the top part is what u can c) 4 maybe at least 10 minutes to 40 minutes depends on how bad u have muscle spasms. U hold it like that to keep their arm from hitting someone and hurting them. If that doesn't work, c a specialist. (a specialist is a type of experienced doctor.)
