Are Repeated Muscle Cramps Signs Of RLS?
Please consider following guidelines
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I share your concern
This could be muscle cramps or a symptom of RLS as well. Back problems may also present with similar symptoms. Therefore the diagnosis can only be established through careful clinical examination and investigations. I would suggest for blood for hemoglobin, complete blood count, liver and kidney function test, thyroid profile, blood sugar and serum electrolytes as well as nutritional assessment. Back X-ray or a MRI scan is entailed after local examination. Your local treating doctor will know about it.
Until you get this problem sorted, I would advise you to follow these guidelines for better relief
