Severe Cramping Of Both Lower Legs,calf Muscles, Prone To Hemachromatosis. Is This An Associated Symptom?

over the past six months or so I have been experiencing severe cramping of both lower legs - especially the calf muscles - my doctor has suggested Varicose veins , fallen arches, or a back problem - which recent xray did not prove. However, I was told some time back by my doctor that I was prone to hemachromatosis and I am now wondering if this is an associate symptom. I am sixty four/female

Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Cramping of legs is a very non specific symptoms. It may or may not be associated with Hemochromatosis. Many of Hemochromatosis patients do not have any symptoms but usual symptoms are joint pains, weakness.

Hope I have answered your query.
