General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to muscle cramps. I suggest using a spasmolytic such as Baclofen three times a day.

I also suggest continuing the magnesium supplement which helps with muscle relaxation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
