I am 74 year old and Diabetes patient dependent on glycid-M (2and half tab per day) for the last 13 years. I have severe very painful cramps in both the legs and no amount of E-Vitamin intake helped me in getting relief from them.The cramps are more acute in left leg. When I stretch my left leg involuntarily in sleep, I am left with a feeling of some nerve encoils/entwines in the calf muscle resulting in excruciating and unbearable pain. Unable to bear the acute pain, I roll on the bed and find that I don t have any control on the movement of my left leg. The pain subsides only after 10 or 15 minutes. During the period, I feel that death is better than the pain experienced. Despite my best conscious efforts not to outstretch my left leg in sleep or just before waking-up especially with a jerk, I do it with momentary amnesia and words are inadequate to describe the pain. Whether there is any permanent relief from this misery?
