Hello,

Cramps and spasms in arms and legs can occur due to various causes like deficiency of calcium and other minerals. Hypothyroidism if not treated properly can also lead to cramps and spasm. I suggest you to consult your physician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for diagnosis and thus management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
