Hello again


Leg Muscle cramps are very common my advise for you

Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
You can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself.
Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to leg.

You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects.
Add tab methylcobal 1500 once day.
