Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Muscle Cramps which moves up and down with twitching.These charlie horses indicate the low potassium / calcium/ magnesium electrolytes,due to over exertion / or from stagnated venus flow from incompetant venous valves of the calf / or could be from reduced intake and increased losses from exertion and muscle stress.
Remedy -Extending /Flexing the legs would reduce these cramps.
Second opinion from Surgeon / Vascular Surgeon with Doppler Study to detect Varicose Veins of the Calf muscles is suggested.
Veno-Stockings /Rest -Elevation /increased intake of boiled potato/or banana milk or butter shakes would relieve them.
HOpe this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
