Are Testosterone Patches Effective At Treating Muscle Cramps?
Question: Muscle cramps upper leg muscles. Be using tonic water with quinine. Do I need testosterone patch? Been very active last three weeks.
Brief Answer:
Cramps are due to activity.
Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion ,because you have been very active ,the muscles are tired and are cramping up. tonic water with Quinine may not have much effect. Testosterone patch has no role .
I suggest you take pain killer and rest. Take plenty of fluids. There is nothing better than rest for cramps.
Thanx for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
