Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent leg cramps. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like spinal stenosis , blood pressure drugs , diuretics , cholesterol-lowering drugs , nerve damage , hyperthyroidism , hypothyroidism , sciatica or diabetes . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like blood test , nerve conduction test along with physical examination and take history . Doctor may recommend physical therapy , stretching exercises along with neurobion forte and vitamin supplement like B 12 and E . For now eat healthy , drink plenty of water and massage gently . Doctor may also recommend surgery in case of disc problem . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for thyroid problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
