Please see attached electrolytes test results and let me know. Thanks.
Brief Answer:
Dyselectrolytemia ruled out.Possibility of RLS (mild) is high.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can understand your concern.
I apologize for the delayed response owing to my hectic work schedule.
I have gone through your recent uploaded reports.
The electrolyte levels are normal.
The possibility of Restless leg syndrome/RLS is high.
But before ruling it in, we need to exclude thrombotic disorder of the lower legs vessels.
For this, I advise you to get Duplex Colour Doppler Ultrasound of legs.
Further, I would like to know the drug content of AZORA 125 mg, since I am unable to find its generic name.

It was typo error, tablet I am using is Azoran 125mg daily.
Brief Answer:
Azoran will not cause calf symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I have gone through the AZORAN 125 mg. It is composed of azathioprine.
This drug is not implicated in your calf symptoms.
Thromboembolic disease runs a 3 time higher risk in patients with Crohns Disease.Hence, screening for the same is advised.
Update me Colour Doppler scan reports.
Thank you.
