hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you mentioned you are getting muscle cramps and you are having problems with medicine, i can help you find some solution for this. which is a simple process. Muscle cramps occurs due to the imbalance in the electrolyte transmission which disturbed the neural impulses. Performing regular strengthening exercise will help the channels of transmission is to optimal functioning which will improve the muscle absorption and contraction by which the cramps will be avoided.

I have personally experienced my patients with similar complaints and later stages stretching has helped them avoid the muscle cramps. Infact I should say no cramping as the electrolyte transmission channels are functionally well. I hope the same recovery in you.
