What Was The Episode Of Severe Cramping Of Fingers And Body Seizing?
I am 33 yrs old my name is Ben. I have been solid plastering for 10 years now. However this morning I was working in hot conditions sweating heavily, i started majorly cramping up from my fingers to my toes. My whole body was seizing up on me. I have had cramping reoccuring regularly now for years, it got to the point where I could not continue working the pain factor was to much. I made an appointment at my local doctors he mentioned salt cubes in my water could this work to an extent. Doctor then referred me to pathology to check levels, will I get a diagnosis from the blood test. Does my condition sound like Kyphosis? Is there any cure for this condition. Thanks for your time Ben.

Hello,
if the cause of your cramping is sodium depletion (hyponatremia) then it could work. Checking the blood levels of sodium, potassium and magnesium is essential to rule out such disorders.
Kyphosis has nothing to do with that. It's disorder of the skeleton only.
If your condition is related to the electrolyte disorders then you can take supplements and of course investigate the causes. Otherwise cramping is a difficult condition to approach and in many cases no cause can be identified.
You can contact me again, if you'd like further information.
Kind Regards!
