Hi,
Various factors, including muscle or spasms, electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, or nerve damage, may cause inner thigh cramps during dialysis. Additionally, the patient's position during dialysis, such as sitting for an extended period, may also contribute to cramping in the inner thigh area. I would recommend talking to the treating doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
