Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Cramps In The Hands And Thighs
I have severe muscle cramps in my hands calves feet thighs back and believe it or not the muscles below my breast covering my rib cage. The only abnormal finding in blood work is 214 RF but I do not have rheumatoid arthritis just osteo. I have had these cramps for over 10 years. I take Flexiril every night but still have the cramping almost daily. What could be causing this condition. These cramps hurt quite a bit. My hands just deform when it happens and sometimes I have to get an assist to straighten them out.
