What Causes Severe Cramps Radiating From The Knees To The Legs?

My husband is getting terrible leg cramps at night, quads, from the top of the knees to top of the legs....worst than I have seen ever. I bought pure magnesium so he could rub on his body when he has a cramp. also calcium magnesium citrate to take orally. He still gets them...they just come up with a vengeance.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello

Leg Muscle cramps are very common my advise for you

Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
you can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself.
Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to leg.

You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects.
Add tab methylcobal 1500 once day.


Wishing you good health.

Take care
