Could have something to do with the position it's been lying in if it's been in a certain position for a while. I don't know how long these spasms have been going on for but if it's been a while I would recommend having this evaluated by a dr to see what they think.

"Magnesium's role in relaxing muscles. Another primary role of magnesium is to work with calcium to help regulate the body's nerve and muscle tone. In many nerve cells, magnesium serves as a chemical gate blocker - as long as there is enough magnesium around, calcium can't rush into the nerve cell and activate the nerve. This gate blocking by magnesium helps keep the nerve relaxed. If our diet provides us with too little magnesium, this gate blocking can fail and the nerve cell can become overactivated. When some nerve cells are overactivated, they can send too many messages to the muscles and cause the muscles to overcontract. This chain of events helps explain how magnesium deficiency can trigger muscle tension, muscle soreness, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, and muscle fatigue especially in the back and legs where some of the body's largest muscles live."

sounds like some repetitive movement has started the spasms.when a muscle is injured,it tightens up.you need to rest it,mild muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory pain reliever,i.e. aleve type.ice initially to reduce any swelling,then heat to increase blood supply.
