Suggest Treatment For Muscle Cramps In Thigh
Question: The vein or muscle on the inside of my right thigh of late has caused a bending over, tears to the eyes constricting pain. It usually happens at the end of my sleep cycle. It just happened in the afternoon. My right leg during the afternoon also just suddenly went sort of weak and then faded away. I also have experienced an excruciating cramping of my calf and ankle and on occasion my left big toe cramps up and sticks up in the air also tears to the eyes pain but only while I'm in a horizontal postion during sleep.
The only thing that will eliminate the cramps is a teaspoon of mustard which of course, is a reaction of the vinegar, Tumericand mustard are all of which are antiflammatories. I'm not questioning the cause of this amazing temporary relief just the symptons that I've described.. Appreciate your response, XXXXXXX XXXX
I make regular quarterly visits to my Primary Dr. but actually haven't queried him on this subject. It also seems that my ankle is feeling like it could cramp and it's mid-day?
