What Causes Muscle Cramps On Hands, Lower Arms And Fingers?

I suffer with muscle cramps of the hands, lower arms, fingers, lower back, lower legs, almost all of my body. What to think may be the cause? I am 73/years old and in poor health generally. I take a long list of drugs, for heart, arthridas, high blood pressure and hi,cholesterol and pain. That more or less sums it or me up.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

With a history of arthritis, it is possible that some of your pain may be related to this condition.

There are different types of arthritis and some may also be associated with pain in the muscles as well.

Acute pain in the muscles and joints may also be due to an acute infection such as the flu, dengue etc

It maybe best to see your doctor to determine the exact cause of the pain.

I hope this helps
