Hello,

Severe leg cramps with fibromyalgia condition depicts the reason as part of systemic presentation of the fibromyalgia only. My guidelines at present:
- Local application of heating pad
- Analgesic spray or ointment containing diclofenac, menthol etc
- addition of zinc, multi vitamins, minerals, anti oxidants and vitamin-E to your drug basket over and above the analgesic medicines
- Regular walking, assisted physiotherapy

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
