How Can Leg Cramps Be Treated?

I have been having a lot of leg cramps. Mostly in my thighs and feet. I have been on Cymbalta for about 2 years for nerve pain from a abrasion on my left inside ankle due to cirrculation problems. I have had vein strippedin my right leg and a vein cauterized in my left leg. Tried bananas and drinking more water. Not working. Do wear a compression sock on left leg.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is due to dehydration.

As of now, drink plenty of water and take bed rest.

Generally, the symptoms will settle in a couple of days.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
