I have chronic leg cramps and muscle twitching due to severe hypomagnesiumia which requires me to get twice weekly 5 hour infusions of magnesium sulphate! This has been going on now for a year and I have seen every specialist. The kidney doctor says I am losing it through my kidneys but they don't know how to fix it. The oral mag pills made me really sick so I have an implanted port-a-cath now with the frequent infusions.
Another time I had leg cramps turned out to be a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). I have had 3 of them, one turned into a PE. I am now on coumadin for the rest of my life.
Just some other things it could be.

Does anyone know what chronic leg cramps might indicate?
Thanks,
