Question: I have been having severe cramps in my legs ,hands and feet for a long time. once in awhile I can walk off one's in my ankle, but when they are so severe I have to sit in really hot water to make them go away. It's not every night, but a lot. I have ask a lot of my doctors, but none have an answer for something to try.
Brief Answer:
Have levicarnitine.
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,
Dr. CHANDER XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
