Suggest Treatment For Foot And Leg Cramps As Well As Body Chills
Question: Whole body chills, close to uncontrolled shivering (even after 20 minute steamy shower), foot & leg cramping, whole body aches. Had an intense deep tissue Thai massage on Sunday night... Started feeling crappy Monday morning. Might these symptoms have something to do with toxins released into bloodstream by the massage?

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query.
The symptoms mentioned by you indicate that you are having early signs of viral infection. At this position it is not possible to say what the exact cause is. I would suggest you to take ibuprofen twice daily for three days after food and keep your self hydrated, drink plenty of water especially warm water. You should be fine by 24 hours.
And if the symptoms persists after four days, you should be investigated for malaria , urine r/m should be sent for looking out for urine infection .Other routine tests , Chest X-ray and USG abdomen are also indicated .
I hope this helps

Hi
Welcome
I would suggest you to take 3 to 4 litres of water per day and it can be increased if you do work out.
I would not suggest you to take electrolyte every day. You can consider it when you are dehydrated and when you are experiencing cramping
