A member asked:

I am 25 years old and often experience cramps and weakness in my legs. kindly guide me what is the reason and what should i do?

Many possibilities: At age 25 weakness and cramps in the legs would tend to signal a potential issue. I would speak with your doctor, get examined and potentially see a neurologist if your symptoms do not get better.
