What Causes Muscle Spasms In The Calves?
I awoke with muscle spasms last evening, back of calves and in front, that have not relented. Up all night and I am wondering if I am lacking Iron or something - I have celiac and know this can cause vitamin and mineral deficiency. Intensely painful. I am a 67 year old woman.
