Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has severe leg cramps in the calf with muscles visibly rippling & contracting. He is 58 years old, diabetic. Daughter massages then hot bath helps, but still in pain. He has had off & on for years, but getting worse. I recommended he contact his doctor and may have low Potassium or Magnesium levels.

I think he got crmps in usually after midday and especially in night. If it is like this just try one multivitamin tablet along with calf stretching atleast 4 to 5 time a day 10 rep hold the stretch for atleast 15 sec. Do this stretch 4 time a day and especially its must before going to bed. Definitely it will help him a lot.
