What Causes Frequent Cramps In Biceps And Calf Muscles?

I often get cramp in my biceps and calf muscles and it it occurs less so in my neck. I have developed trigger finger but this is not restricted to my index finger. Sometimes my right hand locks and I am unable to move my thumb or fingers. Do you think these symptoms are related? Could the cause be arthritis? Could dehydration play a role? Any advice would be welcomed. Many thanks.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have frequent cramps in biceps and calf muscles. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like inadequate blood supply , nerve compression , mineral depletion or vitamin B12 deficiency . I would suggest you to do light stretching under expert , drink plenty of water , eat healthy diet like fresh fruits and vegetables and do gentle massage with almond oil . It doesn't seems to me as signs arthritis . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may examine physically , order blood test and take history . Doctor may recommend physical therapy , prescribe muscle relaxant along with vitamin supplement and anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
