Hello
thanks for using health care magic
The best thing to do will be to get a right diagnosis of
the underlying problem.
From what you have described, i want to believe you are
referring to cramps or permanent state of contracted muscles
If that is the case, then the likely cause will be electrolyte imbalance.
Electrolytes in the body such as calcium, potassium, sodium etc. have
to be measure to see their levels.
Another possibility could be neuritis ( inflammation of nerves) which
could be viral or due to other causes.
Meet a doctor for detail examination and appropriate diagnosis and
treatment.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
