Ive been having these leg cramps/ pains/sharpness for some time now. Ive had an ultra sound,seen vascular and hand had blood work done. Im still terrified that its a blood clot or dvt. No swelling,discoloration or risk factors besides me being in registration and sitting most of the day but i also wear T.E.D stockings. Does anyone know if any of my vitamins could be low

Hi S.R.

The chances of you having a clot/DVT are very, very low...

...but the possibility of your discomfort coming from something benign, such as dehydration, or need for more potassium is a reasonable one.

Staying hydrated, eating potassium rich foods...as well as exercise/stretching should all help you.😊

Wishing you relief!

Leg cramps could be linked to not getting enough potassium as well. This was really bothering my Mom until she started increasing her potassium intake.

Do you twich your leg often? Like when sitting down are you moving your leg up and down?
