Hi:
I've been having really bad cramping in both legs in the calf and the side of my leg that runs up from my ankle.
I drink lots of water and my doc. had me taking calcium and magnesium.
I've also started using a foam roller.
These are literally cramping my swimming style and how often/far I can swim.
Any ideas or suggestions.
Thank you.
Nancy
It could be mild sciatica or disc compression in your lower back. I had severe compression at L5/S1 and all the bananas in the word wouldn't stop the cramps in my calfs and ankles. All those nerves are connected. An MRI or at least a talk with an orthopedic specialist might do a lot of good.
