General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The painful muscle cramps and spasm are in concern with multiple underlying issues as:
- Low hemoglobin
- Lack of proteins (synthesized by liver)
- Electrolyte imbalance as that of sodium, potassium and others
- Metabolic issues as lactic acidosis
- Raised blood urea nitrogen affecting muscle functioning

Still I would like to address further issues of your interest as per your need according to the time period.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
