Suggest Treatment For Cramps In Calf Muscles
Question: Good morning! I am struggling with lower leg muscle pain. It is oscillating in different regions of the lower muscle. My uric acid and cretin levels are in required parameters. Physician suggested me to take course of CORNISURE-500 morning and evening for 5 days. Is it the right drug I am suggested to take. Will there be any use if I go for any Muscle Relaxants (MR)? Please suggest me.
Brief Answer:
Taking muscle relaxant will be helpful.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through your reports attached. Your description suggests that you are getting cramps in the calf muscles.Cramps are painful spasms in a muscle and are often caused by overuse, dehydration, or nutritional deficiencies.
Following measure will help-
*Drink fluid-An electrolyte imbalance can be the cause of muscle spasms, so rehydrating with an electrolyte drink can help restore balance.
*Stretch the affected muscle with a mild, static stretch.
*Use ice to numb the pain in a cramp, reducing inflammation and allowing the muscle to relax.
*Bring the affected muscle into a relaxed position and apply direct compression to the cramp
Drug suggested by your doctor is right one. If the muscle spasm is not corrected by these measures, taking muscle relaxant will be helpful.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
