Why Do I Have Shooting Pain In My Left Foot, Occasionally Radiating To The Calf And Leg?
Question: I have shooting pain in my left foot, occasionally to the calf and leg and just a few min ago shooting pain up my arm
Brief Answer:
Can be due to muscle cramps.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The occasional intermittent shooting pain that you have is likely to be related to muscle cramps. Sometimes, it can be due to dehydration, muscle fatigue or electrolyte abnormalities. It is better to drink sufficient fluid and also see that your intake of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium ) is sufficient. You can drink Oralyte for this.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
