Suggest Natural Remedies For Muscle Cramps In Back
Hello
I am experiencing severe muscle cramps in my back and leg due to my inability to move certain parts of my body because of an injury that I have. I was wondering what type of treatment options are available for such a condition, and specifically, whether there are any pain relieving creams or lotions that I could obtain over the counter or through a doctor via a prescription. I could not take any medication that would be a blood thinner because I am experiencing periodic bleeding from my injury and am unable to take anything that would enhance that.
The muscles that are experiencing cramps are my right leg hip, thigh, and calf muscles and several muscles in my lower right hand side of my back.
I am a 50 year old female and have been experiencing this problem since my injury began several months ago, though the pain has gotten progressively worse. I am concerned about taking painkilling pills because I do not want to become addicted and would prefer a more natural approach.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please e-mail me back at YYYY@YYYY .
