A member asked:
Is there ever a relationship between leg cramps and achilles tendonitis?

Possible: When you lack of vitamin d, you have tendency to sustain tendon injury, tear induced tendonitis. Insufficient vit d induce calcium metabolism abnormal can induce leg cramp. This is only one of the possibilities.

Not usually: The only relation between these two events is that with achilles tendinitis you may be limping or favoring your leg putting unusual stress on the leg causing leg cramps.
