You may not be able to see a relationship between cramps and NP but I know a lot of folks with NP (various/multiple diagnosis) that have leg cramping. There are lots of causes which can also explain why people with NP can get leg cramps.
I just read your article about your neuropathy and I find that I cannot wear closed shoes. Fortunately, I live in Florida, so I can be a sandals that have good support. That seems to help me.
i see no relationship between cramps and NP.
Cramps are muscle problems due to mineral depletion (Potassium,Magnesium and Calcium)from dehydration.
Dehydration can be caused by medications, including diuretics,excessive exercise and other factors.
They are likely to occur when sitting or lying down for hours in one position. That seems how I get my thigh cramps, from being in bed.
