Calf : Calf cramping when walking coiuld be a sign of a problem known as claudication, indicating a problem with arterial circulation and cold hands and feet could be a circulation issue as well. Muscle cramping can also occur with a mineral, metabolic or endocrine issue. The reason for not because of the epidural steroid incetions may be the factor you are looking for as well talk to the neurologist/neurosurgeon/orthopedist/pain doctor or who ever recommend the steroid inceptions as well as speaking to your family doctor again.

Cramps at night: Multivitamins and all those supplements are worthless. The cramps are probably due to relative ischemia when you are supine and your circulation does not have a gravity assist. Try the following: Hot soaks for 5-10 minutes at night of hands and feet every two to three days before bedtime. Keep hands and feet warm with loose socks and cotton gloves every night
