I know this has been discussed many times and I have always had cramping in my legs, feet, hands etc. But just recently, I've had the most severe cramps on the muscle in my left leg on the outside of my shin from my knee into my foot.
My foot locks up and the pain is unbearable. A 10 on the pain scale. Lasts for hours till I can finally stretch it out. Even makes me nauseous. Then it comes back. I usually handle pain better than most, but this is just the worst I've experienced. I actually lay there moaning and that's not me.
I've tried Baclofen and can't tolerate it. Tried quinine and coconut oil. Nothing works.
I have an appointment with my local neurologist tomorrow. Does anyone take pain medication for this? I'm wondering if it would bring relief even temporarily.
I don't like taking pain medication, but for this, I would.
