Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been getting leg cramps of and on for about six months. I drink plenty of water and eat bananas often. I sometimes get cramps on the side of my legs just above the ankle, sometimes in the calf muscles and sometimes on the thighs. This is not during times of exercise or heavy activity.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Calcium and vitamin d 3 deficiency can cause similar kind of muscular cramps. So get done calcium and vitamin d 3 levels and if Deficiency, you will need supplements. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
