What Causes Body Pain And Muscle Cramps In Legs Radiating Towards Chest?

My 54 year old husband is suffering from all over body pain, he gets muscle cramps in his legs that go into his chest, when he walks, body trembles, been to neurologist, rheumatologist, spine doctor, primary care physician. Been suffering for over 3 years cant get a straight answer from anyone, and pain management wont help him. All blood tests come back normal, had ct scan, mri but they come back normal. PLEASE HELP! He cries in pain, and nobody knows what is wrong with him. He cant sleep, been told he has fibromyalgia, but come on, nothing to help with pain.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your husband experience with generalized body pain and muscle cramps radiating to the chest I am suggesting that he has developed a neuralgia (nerve pain)

In relation to the nerve pain let him take the following lyrica gabapentin cymbalta neurobion

He will also need to be evaluated by a psychiatric specialist to manage pains due to psychosis as this is one of the following causes of pain nowadays


Concerning the history of muscle cramps I am suggesting a decrease in calcium level a condition called hypercalcemia other possible possible electrolytes have been implicated but to a lesser extent

Hence please do a serum electrolytes level and see a physician with the result for correction

I hope this helps Regards
