my mother has gotten these leg cramps while sleeping twice. the first time she struggled to get up out of bed, she fell broke her tailbone and passed out from terrific pain. she got them again the other night. they are so bad if she tries to move they get worse. she says their like rolling pains in the groin area and upper leg down to the knee area she says it's like aliens are in her leg moving around. my mother can take pain but not like this. she said this is enogh to cause a heartattack, she was asking to die. her regular MD. said it's a bad pain, but didn't know anything else. her heart doctor didn't seem to know of that kind of pain. has anybody experienced anything like this.

Leg cramps can be caused by a deficiency in potassium or calcium or magnesium...any number of things. Have her drs done any blood work on her recently?

yes, I have Fibromylgia and restless leg syndrome, and without my meds and sometimes even with them, I have done he same way, I have passed out on the bathroom floor from off the commode(not pretty site) and then the leg cramps that get me the worst or the one above the knee, those you do beg with, I have had my whole body in a muscle cramp before, and I thought I was dying, so maybe she needs to be checked for that, I'm on disability for it have been for 2 yrs, and had to give up a really good job I has worked at for 14 yrs 10months......but i was a supervisor and got to were I couldn't walk the long distance and I couldn't think, it was horrible.....she will need to see a neurologist

Oh its a killer, basically as you defined, 2 out of four weeks i lie in ache till 2.30a.m. wishing i'd desire to take my legs off, my wellness care expert has given me some very sturdy soreness killers, although i will now try what you're recommending. I do a actual interest and that doesnt end it in any respect, although I have not have been given any answer, it feels extra helpful that i'm not the only one. thank you
