: Vitamin B-12 at standard levels or even elevated does not cause cramps. Often it is tough to uncover etiology. But you are wasting your money by using any multivitamins, as there is NO need if you are ingesting a well balanced diet. Why not get your medical advice and answers from your doctor instead of "someone".
