Muscle spasm: It is a sudden involuntary contraction of the muscle that can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses controlling the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it leads to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints. Conditions that can trigger muscle spasms include fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection, and tight clothing. Muscle relaxants, together with rest and exercise, can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help inhibit painful contractions. Exercise stretches muscles so that it makes them less likely to spasm, tear and sprain.

Tetanus: Also known as lockjaw, it is a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani. After invading the body, these bacteria start to produce a toxin that causes painful muscle contractions. It causes neck or jaw muscles to lock, making it hard to open the mouth or swallow food/drinks.
