Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 When I yawn I get a muscle cramp in between my ribs, it feels like someone has stuck something in my side. I also stepped on a Hot Wheel the other day and got a cramp from my big toe all the way up to the back of my knee and of course there are the calf cramps that cause tears to well up in my eyes everytime I try to roll over when I sleep. The leg cramps last all night and then most of the next day. There is a muscle between my shoulder blades that spasms sometimes, it's not as bad as a cramp but just as annoying. When I went to see the doc before I was dx (11 years ago), I went in for calf cramps and to figure out why I was peeing red. After my dx I was told the cramps were a part of the IgAN but nobody could tell me why. I am sooo tired of the docs guessing on the cause and treatment. Can anyone offer me some advise other then muscle relaxers and pain killers. I live in a hot bath when I can and I sleep on a heated waterbed. I just took my last prednisone the other day, could the cramps be from that? BRANDY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
