What Will Help My Foot and Leg Cramps?

Monday, 18 January 2010 08:58 AM EST


Question: I have leg and foot cramps at night. I took quinine before it was banned. Is there anything else that can give me relief?

Dr. Hibberd's Answer:

Complaints of nocturnal cramps require evaluation for several conditions including circulatory and cardiovascular disorders, electrolyte imbalances, endocrine disease, and renal disease. These conditions are easily masked by quinine, which has been banned due to life-threatening problems for some. See your private physician to find the cause of your leg cramps.
