Leg and Foot Cramping and Pain

Many individuals with Myasthenia gravis report having intensive leg/foot cramps and pain, most specifying this occurring predominately at night.

Do you experience leg pain? Describe the sensation, and if you note the treatments you are on, that would be great. Pyridostigmine is associated with cramping. But from personal experience, I believed this to cause my leg pain until I stopped mestinon, which has continued. I am sure many of you are the same way.

I look forward to seeing any trends we may note with our community here and our lower body cramps experiences.

Feel free to share any advice you have found for relief 😀

  1. Moderate to extreme muscle weakness w/pain in both thighs as if I had over exercised & strained those muscles. Knee joints are not affected. Walking too much, stairs, up & down out of chairs are the worst for me. Also get foot & leg cramps.
