Suggest Treatment For Persistent Leg Cramps And Pain

I had TKR about 6 months ago and last year on the other knee. both knees were very successful but lately for the past month I have constant leg cramps and lightness that worsens during the day. If I put sport tape under my knees it relieves it but what is causing this.....its so much worse that the knee surgery was. Drs. have said it cout be Thyroid , Fibromyalgia, or my back. I had blood tests and do have an elevated TSH so just started Meds. ... Thanks,

hi, you need to get a physiotherapy consultation for proper exercises and weight bearing pattern. You may be developing tendinitis and contractures. Also your thyroxine dose needs to be increased.
