I have been getting cramps or what I call Charly horses in my legs, back and arms for quit some time now. (6 months or so) They have gotten so bad that they keep me up at night, and they don t go away no matter what I try. I have a cramp in my upper right arm that has been there now for over a week. I am having a hard time lifting my arm past my solder. My leg cramps get so bad I can t walk and when I try it is like I am walking in slow motion and in great pain! Is this from a lack of some vitamin or the beginning of a muscle disorder? I keep thinking it will go away, and it use to, for a few days, but it is not going away anymore. Whats do you thing this could be?
Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Cramping in legs is most often caused by lack of Mg (Magnesium) so you should check your blood levels of magnesium and take a food additive containing this element! Do not worry this is very often symptom, and it is easily treated
