Cramps In Buttocks. Diabetic, High BP. Any Ideas?

Good evening Doc. I have been having cramps in my buttocks on either side first starting on the left for approx. 3 mths.This happens whenever I am sitting on the couch at the end of the day, and extends to bedtime. Sometimes I won't feel it before bedtime, but then wake up with it.... I am diabetic, and also have high blood pressure. Both are in
control.

Hi,

I'd like to know if you are having problems with defecation? Usually constipation and hemorrhoids can cause such problems.

Being overweight is also a factor together with arthritis and staying for long periods of time sitting.

I'd suggest to take more fluids (water till 3 lt per day), keep away from fries or chillies.

Thank you.
