Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having muscle cramps. These are likely to be due to Vitamin deficiencies. Its treatment is EvionLC and calcium. For pain relief analgesic such as ibuprofen are to be taken. Vitamin D3 can be supplemented if it is low. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
