I have been on magnesium supplement (6 pills a day) plus i eat walnuts (high in magnesium). From my blood work between the two, my magnesium is ok. Before I started supplementing with the walnuts, my magnesium was low. However, the tennis balls is a good idea to try.

I'm not sure what type of anti-rejection med you are on but I looked up both tacrolimus and mycophenalate when I started having the problem and both drugs listed cramps as a side effect. I hope you find some relief. I know first-hand how awful it feels. I eat walnuts, too. I stopped eating refined sugar because of diabetes from the prednisone and nuts have become my go-to snack.
