Hi there. So my mom took out all her teeth about 4 months ago. And she had to teeth that were still in her gums. She had dentures and those two teeth would irritate her. Yesterday morning she got those last two teeth removed and the dentist gave her some medication pills for the pain. At night she got cramps on the lower back of her feet, on top of her feet, and the back of her lower legs. And she has not had cramps like these before. And it occurred on both sides of the legs. Can the cramps be caused by the medication? And she is 54 if that helps. Thank you
Hi, Well, cramps in feet and legs is a less common seen side effect of pain medicine those are commonly given for dental pain. However, I would like you to send me the names of the medication that she is taking so that I can guide more precisely. For now, a gentle massage with warm oil and soaking feet and legs in warm water with rock salt or Epsom salt in it can also be relieving. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
