I would look for the: Cause as opposed to trying to mask the discomfort. Magnesium deficiency is a possibility. You can try supplementing or actually get blood levels. When taking blood levels it would be prudent to get magnesium levels in the red blood cells and not just magnesium levels.

See your doctor: Many causes -answer depends on your medication history first since many cross reactions and then physical examine - dvt-venous blood clots or arterial sclerosis made worse? Are the worse i can think of. But usually not. Usually temporary -- potassium or magnesium imbalance possible - therefore need you in person to suggest those blood tests therefore see your surgeon or md.
