Cramping/Drawing Hands & feet
I've had a problem with foot cramps since my teen years, but in the past year or so, have noticed a LOT of trouble with cramping in my hands and feet. I'll grasp something with my hand, and the fingers lock around it and won't straighten back out without my using my other hand to unwrap the cramped fingers. I can try to put on socks or slip foot into a show, and it or the toes draw into a cramp. It's VERY hard to get my feet to stop this, once it begins. I'm 53 years old.
I'm just throwing this out here to see who among us might have problems like this, and learn of any likely solutions? I don't know what's causing the problems, or any likely fix. One possibility is magnesium deficiency, (also saw that Vit D Deficiency can contribute to this.) which I've known for years I tend to have. I guess I should get busy taking supplements for this issue.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Kay
