How Can Persistent Muscle Cramps In The Legs Be Treated?

I have persistent muscle cramps in my legs, and upper torso. I had a modified radical mastectomy on my right breast nine years ago, and then a reconstructive surgery using the muscle in my upper back. I get horribly excruciating cramps in that area. Can you help me try to alleviate these debilitating muscle cramps and spasms? I also have peripheral neuropathy in both feet because of the chemotherapy I had infused in 2009. Can you suggest something to help bring my feeling back in my feet?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You need to visit a Neurosurgeon & get examined, investigated & treated. Looks like you need medications else your symptoms may worsen. Take Vitamin B supplements with Folic acid & Neurobion forte tablets. You may need injections depending upon your investigations. Take plenty of water & ORS, sometimes depletion of minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium may also cause muscle cramps. Take Ibuprofen for relieve from pain. Eat healthy, take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
