My 62 year old construction worker has had cramps in his legs and sometimes in arms all day what do we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I assume he doesn't take statins. & this is a new symptom for him. At this time I would get a magnesium supplement from your pharmacist and give it to your partner according to instructions. His muscle cramps could be the result of overuse or loss of fluids or electrolytes if he perspired profusely at work. If this recurs, he'll need lab work to check calcium,electrolytes& kidney function.
