Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Cramps In Legs

The muscles in my legs are sore and crampy, especially in the backs of my entire legs. The muscles cramp really bad at night. I drink Tonic Water and that relieves the severe cramps. Now, they are sore all of the time. Otherwise, I am in very good health. Do you have any ideas?

Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. Calf muscle cramps are common in person with vitamin B12 deficiency or varicose vein.
If a person with similar symptoms comes to my clinic I would ask him/her about occupation he/she employed and dietary habits like vegetarian or non-vegetarian diet he/she consume. It would help me in proper diagnosing the problem.
If you are involved in occupation when you have to stand for more time and there are visible dilated veins in your lower limb then it is more likely due to varicose veins.
Vegetarian person is more prone to have Vitamin B12 deficiency.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
