Sore Calves

Bananas are too high in carbs. Cooked tomatoes might be fine, I just said fresh because they're in season. B12 might give tingling in the lower extremities. I was thinking if electrolytes were low B12 might be as well. Just brainstorming B12...

It's probably dehydration and insufficient potassium.  Do you also get the cramps in your feet as well?  They can be excruciating.  I get them on and off in my calves and feet when I am dehydrated.  It's probably difficult for you to get much water in, but try some chicken consume/broth.  It seems to go down easier and has lots of needed potassium.

No foot cramps..not yet at least. One of the protein supplements I use is a beef broth. I'll try to use that one more if I can stomach it.

Not taking potassium or magnesium. Should it be citrate on both? And what's a suggested dose for us? Like double what the bottles say?

I might try Pedialite for a couple days first. I hear that's great for electrolytes. I'll have to check the carbs first though.

I get soreness in my calves and cramping more when my Magnesium is low as opposed to Potassium.  My potassium has been pretty good, but I learned that magnesium is the more likely culprit for me.

Thanks for all the info. Hopefully they run labs at my 2 week follow up Monday and can tell me if something is low.

Pain in calf is a sign of blood clot as well...

No pain the last two days. Tried to drink more broth and that might have helped.
