Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Include citrus fruit in your diet.

Have tab. levocarnitine, aceclofenac+ thiocolchicoside twice a day, pregabaline+ methylcobalamine at night.

Even if cramps not controlled, then take hydroxyquinine tablets but under supervision of your local doctor because it is not be given to cardiac patients.

Apply hot packs in morning and evening.

I hope it helps.

Thanks,
