General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Leg cramps can be from various issues apart from magnesium deficiency such as diabetes, vascular insufficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, low hemoglobin levels, vitamin deficiency and so forth.

I would like to assess the details at my clinic with a thorough clinical examination for further guidelines and management ahead.

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

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
