What Causes Leg Cramps?
My son (51) is having sever leg cramping and some pain in his upper torso. His family dr is not finding relief for him. He describes the leg cramping as what he believes rigamortis would feel like only he s not dead. (his words). The other night he felt almost like calling the squad it was so bad. Afterward his muscles are sore for 4-5 days unless he has another attack . He is to have a lab on 6/16/16 but he doesn t know what there looking. So frustrating. Can t get any answers. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedic and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query.
