Are Cramp Fasciculation Syndrome & Radial Tunnel Syndrome related?

Posted by tim6580 @tim6580, 4 days ago

I was diagnosed with Cramp Fasciculation Syndrome (CFS) about forty years ago and after trialling numerous prescibed medications, nothing worked and only caused depression. So I've just given up and deal with the cramps and twitching. Originally, the cramps & twitching were restricted to my feet, calves and hand, getting several cramps a day. Now, I experience several cramps an hour in numerous muscle groups throughout the body, including occasional abdominal & diaphram muscle groups requiring to be rushed to hospital to assist with breathing. Over the years, I just learnt to 'suck it up and deal with it'.
Recently, I've developed Radial Tunnel Syndrome and I'm now wondering if this could be related or caused by CFS or something totally different. Any clues or advice?
(P.S. I'm 70 years old.)

Here is some info regarding CFS that might aid you in seeking treatment since you’ve decided to just “suck it up” at this time. And some info on RTS too so you can decide if your symptoms fit. I have similar arm issues from overuse and treat it with PT recommended therapy.
