Hi, I have severe muscle cramps in my thighs, and calf. You have been taking cimbalta, since 3 years, and lorazepam since 5 days. you are sick of the medicines.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato. egg, chicken, and sea foods, till you get relief, then avoid things among these things which are causing pain again.
For my patient i prefer to give inection of combination of vitamin B1, B6, and B12 with an interval of 7 days, for a longer period.
Thank you.
