Leg Cramps

Nurses General Nursing

Published

So lately I've been working more 12's than I normally do and it's really killing my legs. My muscles all over are so bad when I get home all I can do is lay down or take a bath. Even then they are cramping and painful. I'm looking into buying compression socks but was wondering what else could help me out. If you have any quick fix ideas or long term ideas I'd love to try anything that can help! Thanks very much!

Your best bet would be to talk with your healthcare provider. Sometimes pain in the legs can be a symptom of other conditions that should not be ignored. Also, we cannot give you any type of medical advice per our Terms of Service. I hope you find the answers to your pain and get some relief soon. Take care.
