What Causes Leg Cramps?

Hey, last night while just walking around at home my foot started cramping really painfully. Except the cramping feeling didn't go away, it stayed around for most of the night. I woke up this morning and there is a large bruise on the area that had been hurting. Any idea what could have caused this?

Hello,

May be you have low level of magnesium in your blood so you should do blood test for that. If that is the case take some magnesium based vitamins for few months and the cramps will go way.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
