For the last month I have been getting a muscle cramp (charley horse) in my right calf almost every night. I also get cramps in the bottom of my right foot and in my shoulders (if I move the wrong way). I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Lupus (the Lupus is said to be inactive at the time). I go to school full time and work full time as a bartender and server. I recently went to the doctor and he is testing my potassium, but he is sure that it is not and just gave me the medication Mirapex, which is for restless leg syndrome and other issues. I feel like my doctor isn’t taking this serious and these cramps are severely painful. Does anyone know what could be causing all of this?

1Calcium deficiency can cause that. Try taking a calcium supplement with vitamin D. 500 mg, twice a day, with a meal.

2I woudl try a new doc–many docs label any pain as fibro–
real fibro is a disorde of teh central nervous system.
bottom of teh foto pain could be plantar fasciitis—check with a podiatrist-
your shoulder could be something completely unrelated–you may justhave 2 completley unrelated injury type conditions…
