Charlie Horses and Cramping: What helps?

I’m having the same issue with leg cramping in both legs from my ankles all the way up to my thighs. This wakes me up while sleeping…I too am unsure what type of DR to see…I ‘assume’ it’s inflammation from Covid but who knows! Anyone with similar complaints? Suggestions?

Oh, I am so glad that I am not the only one (not that I wish anyone any of these awful symptoms in the first place)! I am going to ask my GP what type of doctor to go to and then add that to my list of other doctors for every thing else going wrong with Long Covid. Have a wonderful day!
Have your iron and magnesium and vitamin d checked! Those can all cause muscle cramping and spasms. Covid can affect all your levels! I’m a Covid survivor/long hauler! In February of 2021 I was hospitalized for 51/2 months, on a ventilator for 2 months and had a tracheotomy! Best wishes in your search to find yourself again! Melanie
i got these same cramps after covid. it turned out i was short on potasium from all the lasix i had in the hospital. once i started taking potassium supplements they went away

Yes I’ve had it too! Feet and calves. Magnesium supplement can assist particularly for leg and foot spasms. Stretching and lymph massage and compression perhaps may be helpful?? Hugs!
