Severe cramping from foot to leg crippling me for hours? what type of doctor should i seek?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to ER: I would start by going to the ER. Since your pain is severe and persistent you need to make sure it is not a life threatening problem such as a blood clot or circulatory problem. They can then direct you to follow up with your family doctor or the appropriate specialist. Good luck!
