Glucosamine/Condroitin Side effects/
I started on glucosamine/condroitin with MSM a week ago. This is the first time I've taken this supplement. I am also taking turmeric although I use turmeric as a spice frequently enough that I may not have needed the supplement. These were recommended by the medical provider I saw at Mayo Clinic in Orthopedics for a shoulder injury/inflammation. I have other things I am doing for my shoulder including at-home exercises, PT, massage, and icing my shoulder.
Last night and in the early morning hours when I was asleep in bed I was awakened with two separate painful muscle spasms in one calf and then the other. I haven't changed anything else in my diet, supplements, medication or exercise. I'm not even taking the full dose of the supplement yet. I cannot find anything online at reliable and valid websites about muscle cramps occurring with glucosamine/condroitin with MSM.
Anyone else had these muscle cramps and think they be due to glucosamine/condroitin with MSM?

It could be an entirely different animal…
Consider and research needing magnesium to prevent leg cramps….
Or anything else that can prevent leg cramps…
Leg cramps and glucosamine Chrondroitrin.
Bet you google that and find nothing.
The reference to Anti Inflammatories causing kidney problems is for NSAIDS , not glucosamine Chrondroitrin which is not an NSAID…
