Leg cramp

[dianemle]

I have been getting lots of cramps in my legs and feet lately and have just read this is a possible symptom of liver disease. This is the first time in 14 years I have heard it is related to cirrhosis. Has anyone else heard of this?

Hi I have had these symptoms for ages now . I am going to ask my dr if it could be connected next time I go.

No I never heard it - but I do get lower leg cramping most nights

I hadn't heard it was related but saw it on the NHS choices website under causes of leg cramps

I have something called Restless Leg Syndrome/RLS. I take Requip/Ropinrole 1-2mg at night! It usually helps, but now I'm getting bad leg cramps along with The RLS and it keeps me awake half the night! Fidgety legs is a perfect name for Wat they call here RLS! You cud ask your doc about the med I take and it may help you as well! Good luck and GODSPEED!

Hi Rockie what is PBC?

[Debbweb01]

Hi Rocky! As we all say we have been thru the mill with doctors! IDint think I have pbs??? I'm going to eye doc to today to find out if I have Sojerns, not sure of the spelling! For a few years now I've had pain on my right side and right rib! I'm a right sided sleeper and sometime pain so bad I must turn and can't sleep on left, I kinda now sleep on my tummy toward the right Sid and that seems to help! I've read posts on pbs only cuz I'm a computer dummy & somehow got here! Kerstin from Stickholm has asked me to get tested for Sojerns, but my Hemotologist has no idea about APS! I tested him today cuz I have a very Rare Blood disorder called PV/ Polycythemia Vera! Your legs and feet itch, but wen I asked him if the APS caused it he stupidly said no! Many APS sufferers have the itchy body's! I plans on going to a study at The Hospital Fir Soecial Surgery! The Gene that causes APS also causes PV so there is one other person that was calls a word like phenomenon with that! I don't think she knew The JAK 2 Gene caused both! The PV is also a thick blood disease! They call my blood SLUDGE! Lol... Do u think if I go c some kind of specialist for APS study the shud test me for PBC? I'm confused and lied to by my primary and Hemotologist! Not life to, IGNORANCE!
