What Causes Sudden Muscle Spasms In The Leg?
I thought I had a charlie horse last saturday but the pain persists. Drove for 4 hours and was playing horeshoes (about 4 hours after the drive) when it happened. It is OK if I am laying down, but once up and walking, it hurts after a few steps. There is no redness and the area is not hot to the touch. I have CAD and 5 stents administered. Cuuld this be a blood clot or PAD??

Hello,
The causes of muscle spasm in leg are:
1. Sprain
2. Overuse
3. Injury
4. Blunt trauma
5. Electrolyte imbalance
6. Dehydration
7. DVT (Deep vein thrombosis)
For that you can take electral powder, drink plenty of fluids, do serum elctrolyte, and color Doppler of legs.
Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with orthopedician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
