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 😀

Yes, joint pain and muscle cramp mostly.
Not really pain it’s more heaviness and pain in my ankles.
I have frequently had leg cramps at night in my calves and shins. This has happened over the last several years. Recently, I have begun having cramps in my hands during the day.
My cramp is primarily in my left leg and occurs either at night or when I have my leg bent and I'm putting pressure on it for leverage in doing a task. I also have them in the arches of my feet. I back down on Mestinon if they get too bad.
