My husband had this caused through smoking. Bergers Disease. He was lucky caught it in time and he had operation
It's the arteries getting blocked and stopping blood flow. Get it checked out asap .
Hi,
At the beginning of Systemic Sclerosis it was terrible. I could hardly walk. I couldn't sleep as every position was so painful. Finally I could only sleep on my back, it took some getting used to. My Rheumatologist who specialised in this condition had me in hospital for tests & pain management. I had nerve & muscle damage and was put on a pain management programme. Although the tablets stabilised my condition it still left my calves with terrible pain on walking. I go to Hydrotherapy & use exercises from the physiotherapist. Bit by bit it's become easier ( over 2 years on with stem cell treatment last year). I now can walk believe it or not for an hour a day! I still had the cramp in my calves & often had to stop & rest. I incorporated the exercises ( not easy! ) & now a few months on only get the cramp on hilly inclines. You will get there, take it bit by bit. See if Hydrotherapy & Physiotherapy are an option under your consultant. Be brave, it's a hard road for us all. Good luck. Xx
