What Causes Severe Leg Cramps Along With Pain And Swelling In Ankle?
Mod severe cramps in legs 4 times during sleeping at night. Next morning my ankle was swollen and very painful to walk on. Next day there was an improvement but still painful. A similar incident without cramps happened 2 months ago. Last time I went to the doctor and had negative results for gout and DVT. All blood work and sonogram were negative. What could be happening?
In addition to the gout, you need to consider being assessed for other causes of arthritis. This would include autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid, lupus, sjogrens.
Additional blood tests would be needed.
I hope this helps
