#because back then sometimes my muscles would cramp or spasm so bad I'd be walking and my leg would collapse out from under me

Hey y’all! Weird question time, below a read more this time because it’s medical related (it’s just questions about muscle cramps and muscle spasms but saying the word “muscle” too many times squicks out my sister so I figure it must bother other people too. Also some of these questions might count as describing injuries? Idk where the line is there)
I have a series of questions, because the very nice nurse said “you know that’s not normal, right?” but idk where normal is on this scale: - do you ever have an individual muscle cramp that lasts more than a day? - do you ever have muscle cramps so severe the cramp is visible to other people? - what’s the difference between a muscle cramp and a knot in a muscle? is it just severity? - I am assuming this is related to the muscle cramps, but do you ever have it where a muscle/tendon/ligament/I don’t know anatomy is so tight it feels like a pulling on your bones when you go to move? For me this happens most often with muscle issues either in my neck or under my shoulderblades pulling at my collarbones, but I’ve had so many muscle cramps in my torso today that if I move wrong I can feel a pulling at the front of my hipbone - do you ever get muscle cramps on the side of your neck or face that impact your ability to open your eye on one side?  - do you ever get those face muscle cramps as a result of food allergies??? I feel like that one is weird but idk *how* weird - do you ever get muscle cramps/spasms between the bones of your ribs that feel like they are trying to shove the ribs apart?  - without an injury or workout beforehand, do you ever get muscle spasms where it’s just a part of a muscle twitching visibly but painlessly that you may or may not be able to feel, for anywhere from minutes to hours?  - do you ever get muscle spasms in your ear? And if so, have you also experienced the like “oh shit” levels of instant vertigo/dizziness when that happens? I have only had inner ear muscle spasms a few times but they suck
