How To Treat Cramps In Calves?
My daughter get cramps in her calves. She is 18 and this has been going on for over a year. It started at night and usually the right leg. Now it is happening during the during the day but more towards the night. She has seen a doctor and he had her take iron supplements but they have not helped. Also she has IBS and they made her constipated. I do not know if there is a specialist I can take her too.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to muscle cramps.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation.
Warm compresses can help.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
