Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring cramps from back of thighs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like inadequate blood supply , nerve compression , mineral depletion or vitamin E deficiency . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , take history to rule out neuropathy due to diabetes or side effects of any drug . Doctor may prescribe supplement or recommend physical, therapy and stretching exercises . For now apply warm compresses , take light walk daily and take healthy diet including fresh fruits and vegetables .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
