What Causes Muscle Spasms In Lower Legs, Ankles And Feet While Sleeping?
I am experiencing extreme muscle spasms in my lower legs, ankles and feet while I am sleeping at night. I drink 32 to 48 ounces of sports drinks to try to prevent this but recently it is worse. What else can I do? I take a Prilosec for acid reflux, Tramadol for Fibromyalgia, and Synthroid for Hypothyroidism.
Hello, Continuous muscle spasm in your body is due to either low calcium, and low salt. It can also be due to low serum B 12 and poor muscle tome. Fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism can also make these muscle spasm. treatment should be like: 1.Tablet Carnisure one daily for one month. 2.Tablet Calcium and Vitamin D3 one daily for three months. 3.Take high salt intake when you have spasm ,like in juice or lemonade. 4.Hot water fomentation. I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
