estrogen and leg cramps

I am also wondering about the bioidentical hormones and if they need to do a blood test and/or spit test being that i have no overies.I read that the leg cramps could be due to the fact that i do need the progesterone. I amsorrry I am all over the place with this question, but i can't function with this HEADACHE!!!!!

So glad you asked this question. I have recently been having this leg pain as well. It happens at night when I lay down - sometimes during day. It's a weird pain with cramps. So I looked it up and it has all the signs of "Restless Leg Syndrome". Except that nowhere on that RLS it says is caused by HepC though I'm "guessing" hep c is what's causing it. Bill made a suggestion about testing for rheumatoid arthritis. When I go to dr.

I struggle with back pain, leg pain, abdominal cramps, headaches, and stomach aches during my period as well as stabbing ovulation pain and PMS cramps in the weeks leading up to my period. I am stuck taking ibuprofen and Tylenol, but as of recently taking these painkillers seems to be less effective in dealing with my pain. Also, I sometimes get awful nausea after taking ibuprofen. I don’t want to hurt myself with painkillers, but I also don’t want to be in pain all day.

I went through a serious bout of stress from my job a couple of years ago and ended up leaving. My hair thinned, I started getting fat round my waste and on my chest giving me the dreaded man boobs look. The stress and lack of sleep got so bad at times that I often forgot what day it was and could not sleep or stop my hands from shaking. Now the problem remains and I can't get rid of it. My DHEA is fine and so is my testosterone.

If breast cancer runs in your family i am surprised that your doctor would give you anything that has estrogen in it. I think you are better off getting off the cream and living with the symptons.

m 48 and get bad leg cramps/pain and also knee and ankle pain, mostly in the evening. I have tried calcium, and magnesium supplements because I read they help, but I didn't notice any change. My doctor said in addition to being in menopause, I have no Vitamin D in my system. I read that this can also cause muscle aches. If you guys figure it out, please post and let us know. What I can help with is HRT.

I took tylenol and that releived it somewhat and now I have the moist heating pad on it...this pain is there whether I stand, sit or lay...anyone have any answers?

t have, and was placed on a higher dose of estrogen. I use the vivelle dot patch, oral estrogen and vaginal estrogen. This seems to have helped the urinary problems amongst other things. Are you on hormone replacement? There is a great book I am reading called "Screaming to be heard" by Elizabeth Vliet MD and it really goes into detail on how hormones affect every organ system. Are you on Hormone replacement? I hope this helps, and I hope you get some answers.

Its not just my calf muscle, but my ankle and tops of my feet too. How are leg cramps and diabetes associated? I am a diabetic, but have been controlling my BS levels pretty well. At diagnosis my A1C was 11.5 and at my last check up I had it down to 5.9. (although it might not be quite that good at my next check up, I know it is nowhere near that high of a reading) Any suggestions on relief from the leg cramps?

Hi. I know we're all different, but I also just went through my first IVF ;) My transfer was on July 14, a single 5-day blast transfer. On the 17th, I started getting cramps here & there & by the 19th I had pretty bad cramps, then nausea... I just got my BFP on Friday and am waiting for my 2nd beta results today. (SO nervous!) Anyway, I just wanted to wish you my best & let you know you're not alone in your symptoms!

it never fails i always wake up with this pain of an intense charlie horse in my leg and it hurts to stretch it....but mine isnt swollen and i have no idea how to make it stop...i just wanted to tell u....ur not alone! lol and its horrible! hang in there!

Is there anyone suffering from leg cramps? I had one the other day and this morning. I get leg cramps only in my left leg. I don't understand! I'm scared to even sleep in bed because I was told it happens when your leg is relaxed. Please help!

My legs cramp when I walk and my bones hurt lots but the lungs I don't get but ehatvi do get is where it feels like my throat is swelling and I can't breath.

Walking/excersize helps to get your circulation back to normal and the leg cramps will calm down abit I used to get them when sleeping

I get them here and there, but only in my right leg .

Drink more water and eat food high in potassium.I had a terrible charlie horse one morning and decided to walk it off. Bad idea! My leg hurt for a good 3-4 days afterwards!

Has anyone had problems with leg cramps on Tomoxifin? I was on Arimidex for 3 years and had extreme viginal dryness to the point of very painfull intercourse. Changed to Tomoxifin and my OBGYN prescribed Vagifem and problem solved for the dryness. BUT... now I have leg cramps all night long if I have been on my feet at all during the day. I had blood tests done and it showed low sodium, potasium and the BIN alittle low.

i remember waking up in the middle of the night with the worst leg cramps and i would get out of bed and hobble to the bathroom to stand on the cold tile floor and they are outta there!

I was eating one a day to help w cramps, and they caused me to be really constipated. Try water and stretching.

) the leg cramping usually happens when you are dehydrated, and the potassium in bananas helps as well

Pickle juice or tonic water. I swear it works! I'd get up and drink some pickle juice out of the jar and then crawl back in bed and sleep great. I ate a ton of bananas (A TON) and I'm telling you, pickle juice is the answer! I mention tonic water because an old lady I know drinks a glass every night for her restless leg syndrome and she swears by it. I like pickles so it's a personal preference.

ve gotten what I thought to be really bad leg cramps until tonight....I woke up with a leg cramp so bad I was screaming and crying in pain! It hurt so bad and it lasted a few minutes with nothing I could do and now over an hour later it's still tight . If I can suggest anything at this point ladies drink LOTS of water and stretch every day, and if you have an amazing partner like mine have them massage your legs before bed!

Talk to your doc about this. How is your hemaglobin? Anemia will also cause leg cramps and RLS due to lack of oxygen in the muscle tissue.

Ugh i been having leg cranps and there the worst.

What I was trying to say before my crazy phone acted up, its safe and I been taking it for over a month, because my legs hurt and stung at night, because of restless leg syndrome and pains from bigger baby weighing me down, look it up f
