After my right shoulder surgery, my arm would fly up uncontrollably and unpredictably ala Dr. Strangelove (which, as you can imagine, freaked both me and my patients out). The orthopod's PA suggested drinking tonic water for the quinine. It didn't particularly help but I would imagine that the quinine dosage is higher in the pills. (Fortunately, those spasms stopped) It's worth a try.
Magnesium is supposed to be helpful as well.
