What Causes Muscle Cramps And Joint Pain In A Hypertensive Person?
I have pitting edema in both ankles. I just finished a four month regimen of a chemo med for basal cell skin cancer called Erivedge. My worst symptoms are muscle cramps and joint pain. I assumed the swelling was another side affect. I am also on meds for high blood pressure but I monitor it and it s fine. I have a friend that is worried that the swelling might indicate a heart problem.

based on symptoms I suggest you to take Ayurvedic medicine which are safe
tab yogaraj gugglu 2bd for pain
tab punarnavadi mandoora 1tds for swelling and anaemia.
swelling is seen not only in cardiac problem it may be due to kidney thyroid steroids NSAID etc
cramps may be due to calcium deficiency, dehydration, muscle strain., inadequate blood supply etc.
