Brief Answer:

L- carnitine supplements will help.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The pain in the lower legs that you have can be due to low levels of calcium and vitamin D3. This can be related to muscle spasms also.

You can do a hot compress and apply a diclofenac gel for relief. Taking L-carnitine supplements daily will also help in long term relief.

You can increase the intake of electrolyte rich fluids like Garotade.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
