What Treatment To Be Taken For Leg Cramps?

I am having leg cramps, yesterday, and again today. The upper leg cramps, when I get up in the morning and if I take a nap, as I did today, I had to walk for about 10 minutes before they left. I walk outside everyday for a mile or so…do you have any suggestions or cures for me ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi In my opinion your leg cramps / Pain ,after getting up from bed appear to be due to spasm in the muscles secondary to sacroilitis or lumbar spondylosis. I suggest you take pain killers , muscle relaxant and most important, start doing spinal extension exercises.
