For the last six months the muscles in my lower arms have been extremely painful. The pain sometimes wakes me at night. In the last two weeks I have started having muscle spasms in the calves of my legs. The pain limits my ability to walk and the calves of my legs continue to hurt and are tender to the touch. I am 84 years old and have always been very active. This problem is ruining my bowling game.
I have liver disease, so am limited in what pain medication I can take.
My diet is made up of fresh vegetables and fruit, with low sodium and low saturated fat foods. My Dr. has been of little help, as I do not wish to take muscle relaxers.
Suggestions?
