What Causes Tingling Sensation And Cramps In The Legs?

For months my legs have tingled and cramped. I can also see my veins easier and some bruising plus my veins on my legs stick out now. My left arm when I lightly touch my vein makes my arm numb and my leg will tingle near my groin when I do that. A month ago I had a pulmonary embolism two blood clots in my lungs and they said it wasn t from a DRT or DVT. I need to see someone about my circulation. When I sit in a chair and sleep my arms and legs go numb and my tongue trys to go to the back of my throat. I don t know what to do or where to start

Hi,

Leg cramps are a common and usually harmless condition where the muscles in your leg suddenly become tight and painful.

It usually occurs in the calf muscles and in most cases there is no obvious cause of it If it happens sporadically then there is no need for any treatment or tests.

But if this is common and affects your daily routine then some measures should be taken.

In some cases, there may be predisposing conditions such can be seen in pregnancy, after exercise and certain types of medication, such as statins or liver disease.

The best way to manage this is to stretch your muscles regularly. In some cases, magnesium or calcium supplements may help Have enough fluids and avoid long sitting, regulate body mass.

In cases of progression or if there won't be improvement, you need to see doctor, to rule out some neuropathies or vascular disorders, which are much less common but should be considered if there won't be an improvement on these measures that I have mentioned.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
