What Could Be The Reason For Night Cramps In Legs, Tingling In Hands After Recovering From Signet Cell Carcinoma?
I had a bad night cramps in both lower legs, it was so bad that i fell and couldn't get up without help. I had very sore lower legs for 4 our 5 days. I have had night cramps regularly for quite a while, and also had tingling in hands for years and not really taken any notice. I am type 2 diabetic,not on any medication except diet. I had surgery around 2 and a bit years ago for stomach cancer, signet cell carcinoma, Have recovered really well.

There are different possible causes for cramping in the legs. Some of them are: (1) vitamin deficiency
(2)electrolyte disturbance such as low sodium, abnormal calcium levels
(3)diabetes
(4)dehydration
(5)side effect of medication
(6)thyroid disease
(7)neurological diseases
It may be best to visit your doctor for an assessment to determine the exact cause.
