Several points, aches and pains like muscle cramps would, if speaking broadly, be present in everyone some of the time. Certainly giving everyone narcotics would not be a good idea.

There are several issues. First, if someone equates "help" or "pain medicine" to Mean GETTING NARCOTICS. and if GETTING NARCOTICS is the entire focus of one's life, that would imply an addiction issue. This would often be manifested as someone getting angry and threatened and accusative when a doctor does anything except GETTING them NARCOTICS (again, being solely focused on narcotics is a bad sign).

Then, leaving that issue for other, more important ones:
Why would someone get cramps? Electrolyte problems or muscle problems would seem to be the cause. Electrolyte abnormalities (which can be potassium, sodium, ionized calcium, magnesium, or much more rarely phosphate) can occur from many reasons but are easily, quickly, and cheaply evaluated with simple blood tests. COPD, anxiety, and liver disease all FREQUENTLY cause electrolyte problems. they can be fixed in a day or two with simple mineral supplements BUT generally the larger doses that require prescription are required. The heaart is a muscle and these abnormalities often also affect the heart and this can, in theory, be fatal. It isn't common for that to happen.

Muscle damage can feel like cramps but is more accurately called "soreness". this can occur from a variety of causes. The muscles are sore to the touch and there is actual damage occurring to them. The muscles affected can be one (being punched for example), an area (overwork, sleeping in a funny position, etc), or just the large ones or all over. Each pattern implies different causes. In all of them, the muscles are sore with deep pressure.

So, one's regular doctor can diagnose the cause, often immediately. They will not give out narcotics to anyone with aches. Pain management might be an option.
