Leg calf cramps
My mom has been suffering from leg cramps especially at night. Her calf cramps alot and she can't sleep whole night. She have to apply fast relief gel and tie bandage then till morning her pain settle down and she sleeps. I want to talk her to doctor but I'm not sure which type of doctor should I visit. General physicians nearby couldn't help. She doesn't want to excercise so she doesn't want to go to a physiotherapist.
I really want to know about this problem's causes and treatment. Where should I take her then?
Please guide me.
Thanks.
