Muscle Cramps

I am having severe muscle cramps starting around my tailbone and radiating into my thighs. Is this some kind of vitamin issue? Potassium? Anyone experience this? Two nights now. I am calling my Dr, tomorrow. But it is 3 a.m.. Arghhhh

I just got off the phone with my Dr's office about the exact same issue. They told me it sounds like potassium, and to drink to 4 oz glasses of orange juice daily, and bannanas are also good, bu****ch the sugar content of the juice. She said if that doesn't fix it they may put me on a potassium supplement. Good luck, Billie

By the way, We also had surgery the same day, interesting huh. There has to be a connection. Hope you feel better. Billie

Thanks for the reply. I went to my primary Dr. My blood levels all seem okay. I got an injection for pain and some muscle relaxers. Maybe it is just the change in our bodies, center of gravity, etc. I have been so miserable with nausea etc. for the last three weeks, that I haven't gotten any exercise. I am sure that does not help the situation. I am down 40 lbs. though.
