What Causes Severe Muscle Cramping In Hands And Forearms?
I ve a friend whose had severe muscle cramping in his hands and forearms since early childhood. At age 54 now it apparently has become worse and he has to take muscle relaxers to the point of anebreation. He has never been a drinker or a druggie, has a thin build, and eats a healthy diet. What might be the problem?

Hello,
What I feel is the history you provided isn't sufficient for us to judge what could be the issue. usually people with Hyperhidrosis may face this issue due to lack of sodium in body.
Also, if your friend having High BP or diabetic issue at this age what you mentioned? Because that can help us to come to a conclusion that what could be the cause.
As you mentioned it is from childhood then I feel she has the issue of losing sodium more out of the body and which is the reason she gets cramps every now and then.
You need to check out the past medical history and provide us with some more inputs by which we help better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
