Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to benign causes like electrolyte imbalance, vitamin D and vit B12 deficiency, muscular spasm etc.

This can be relieved by (1) treating the underlying cause (2) keeping yourself well hydrated (3) stretching the muscles involved (4) the use of anti inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen, cataflam with meals (5) a muscle relaxant may be necessary. You can get it prescribed from your physician.

It may be best, if possible to visit your doctor for a thorough assessment and treatment plan.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
