Hi
I've again started to suffer with leg cramps , mainly at night and they can be severe in both calf muscles.
I'm not 100% certain of the cause? The calf muscle goes into the spasm and the middle tends to invert itself like a v shape - boy does it hurt
Statins? - I used to take Simvastatin but that was swapped for Pravastatin as the Simvastatin is not allowed following a transplant as it messes with the anti-rejection drugs I guess
Neuropathy? I have that and I see it's also linked to cramps
My ankles are pretty stiff due to nerve damage and flexing my ankles can set the cramps off
sitting behind a desk all day doesn't help either. I try stretching and it's hard to tell if it helps and I've just tried magnesium supplement (30mins ago) to see if that helps
Any way to find out the cause?
Cheers
