What Can Be Done About Back Muscle Spasms And Legs Pains?

Hello, I ve had mild muscle spasms in my lower back which were helped quite a bit by physical therapy. Now I m having less pain in the back, but I wake up with pain in my legs (shin and calves). They go away after a few hours and with ibuprofen and Baclofen, but is there something I could do other than take these meds? I have fibromyalgia and sleep on a 3 memory foam topper. Could I be lacking a certain vitamin? I do take a women s over 50 daily multivitamin.

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query in my opinion it is muscle cramps. It may be related to vitamin deficiencies . In acute stage rest and analgesics is its treatment. EVION LC ONCE DAILY IS GIVEN FOR NEARLY 21 DAYS.Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can cause this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Calcium supplementation maybe of use I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query.
