Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had severe muscle spasms in my leg from my foot to my groin, could I have been suffering a heat stroke? The weather has been extremely hot., also I have started on a new medicine called Elavil for fibromyalgia. Could either of these bee the cause of the spasms?
These spasms are common due to reduced metabolism of the muscle. Also due to extreme heat, there is excessive loss of the sodium leading to abnormal physiological process and the spasms.
Having more liquid and sufficient amount of sodium in a day should be good to avoid spasms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
