What Could Be The Cause Of Leg Cramps?
My feet and lower legs have started hurting and cramping. There is a weird feeling like bubbles popping under the skin. I have added magnesium and potassium supplements but this has not helped. I am 64, and thin. What could be causing this, and should I see a doctor?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Kindly get an ultrasound Doppler of leg done to know if you have any deep vein thrombosis. Those bubbles could be dilated veins called varicose veins. Get us Doppler reports for the further management. Feel free to ask any questions if you have any doubts.
I hope this info helps you sort out your problems.
