Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 33 year old active female (5 7 , 125 lbs) that struggles with chronic muscle cramps & pain in my quadriceps. It usually occurs if I sit for longer than 20 min. If I get up and move it helps relieve some of the pain and discomfort so I try not to sit for too long. I have never taken anything for the pain. I do however have several family members with autoimmune disorders.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to muscle cramps. I suggest using a spasmolytic such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation. I recommend warm compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
