What are the causes of my severe inner thigh leg cramps. Both legs but never at the same time and always during the night . Also , my lower legs are so sore that it was painful for me to walk through simple brush when I went hunting this past weekend . It s hard to lift them over same things. I have bad needs but this pain is not my knees , it feels muscular not bone related. I was told by a DO s nurse that pickles help, someone else said drink tonic water for the quinine, and I the melocam for inflammation along with Tylenol for pain . I have a topical cream like Ben-gay for my doctor at the va. I take simvastine for cholesterol, 10mg every other day. Zyrtec and nasalcort and meloxacan for allergies. Do Hylands leg cramp pills work . Would a steam room or whirlpool or light exercise help.? Please advise
