What Can Cause Severe Leg Cramps And Spams From The Calf Through The Thigh?
Had a total knee replacement 3 years ago. All of a sudden am having severe leg cramps and spams from the calf through the thigh. I drink a minimum of 6 to 8 glasses of water a day - so should not be a dehydration problem. Am a florist - on the go all day long - so not due to inactivitiy. What could cause this?

Hi,
Kindly add some knee strengthening exercises, especially for quadriceps and calf muscle: isometric exercises will help you. Do regular stretching for Hamstring and calf muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
