Suggest Treatment For Leg Cramps

I have a bad sciatic nerve problem, my legs cramp so bad I want to cry, my feet are like ice and some veins are breaking in my left foot. I have been to see orthopedic but they did not want to operate, I take meds for that but still not a lot of relief. What do you suggest about the horrible leg and foot cramps happens mostly at rest.

hi

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

as you are having lumbar spine disc degenerative changes I will advice you to undergo physical therapy.

There are a lot of cases in my clinical practice who only recovered well with physical therapy alone. Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will help.reduce the pain and alter the pain signalling reaching to the brain.

Also ,the key role here will be exercises to improve the muscle strength and regain the normal anatomy of the spinal biomechanics. As the pain can be controlled much of the time by physical therapy.
