Hello,

As you are in full cast down the knee then for cramp I will advise you to manage your sodium intake. Also I will advice you to do some simple exercises for the core.

As while in cast the resting phase will be long in the bed and weakness of the spinal muscles leading to nerve entrapment and cramps kind feeling.

Using hot water fermentation for the back will be good to reduce muscle spasm.

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

Take care
