What Causes Muscle Cramps In The Hips And Toes?
My bones ache, from my hips down. I m 48 and female. I ve also started getting Charlie horses in my toes recently. I haven t had a period since September of last year, so I m pretty sure I m going into menopause, or I am in it. I m also very tired all the time. Should I ask my dr to do any particular tests when I see her for my yearly, besides the normal blood work?

Hello
Thanks for using Ask A Doctor service.
As per my clinical experience, the series of lab tests must include HB1Ac, calcium, magnesium, B12 levels apart from routine check.
There can be possible deficiency of trace elements, vitamins, micro angiopathy of small vessels or else.
Take care.
