Thank you for taking my question - I was in the middle of writing this before and everything disappeared, but my question was not on the forum, so I'll try again - I hope I did nothing wrong. For years I have suffered with muscle cramps of the feet, toes, sometimes the arch, the front of my leg or the back of the knee (feels like the whole leg goes into a cramp and then the other leg does also). I've tried quinine (I'm alergic to it but it did help) and muscle relaxers (didn't help much) and no doctors seemed to be really concerned about it. I have researched it extensively on this forum and the internet. I don't appear to have other neurologic symptoms but I need help - this is very depressing when it happens, which is nightly or every few days. The cramps appear after I get home from work, while relaxing or most commonly in the middle of the night. The only relief I can find (cannot walk or stretch them out) is getting in the hottest water I can stand. I'm afraid someday I'll burn myself. I have recently been trying vitamins and magnesium which has offered some relief. I tried Calcet (triple calcium for leg cramps) and they hit with a vengance again - both legs). Either before or after the cramps I also experience little twitches all over my legs - I can feel them and see them, but they are not in one spot. Do you think I'm deficient in certain vitamins and are there blood tests for this? Could this just be a vitamin deficiency or something more serious that needs checking? One thing I found is some people that are deficient in magnesium, calcium and potassium. Please give me some suggestions or how I can convince a doctor that this is a serious problem with me. Thank you so much.
