Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Gonna get yelled at or told nonsense but i started going to my chiropractor again. I was having bad bad cramps that were increasing in frequency in my left calf thought it was just from my limp. I walk pretty funny. My Neurosurgeon said it wasn't from any of my tumors suggested more fluids. But after the chiropractor adjustment me the cramps went away walking got easier and headaches eased. Hip pain went away as well as neck pain. Not that pain from tumor growth but like a kink in your neck sorta feeling. I do not suggest going to one after a recent surgery or without asking your dr first and when you do you must tell them of all surgeries and tumors it is very important. I have wentto him since I was teeny but stop for awhile here and there reasons stated above. Sara For awhile, and I find it odd, when I turn my torso,(left or right) I get cramps in my side. I also have pains under my breasts in my rib cage...anybody else have this oddity? and could it be caused from muscle degeneration? Any help would be appreciated! >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Carol, YES! I get cramps in my mid-section very frequently, especially after I yawn or stretch. It hits either or both sides of the ribs. Sometimes it is very painful. I also get crapms in my calves more than usual. I have asked my doctor about them, but he doesn't have an explanation. --- Carol Winarski wrote: > For awhile, and I find it odd, when I turn my > torso,(left or right) I > get cramps in my side.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Thanks Sara.....I will be seeing my doctor very soon...will have to ask him.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Mranie, Is it possible that muscle relaxants would help those cramps? The pain must be too much. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Hi Carol ! I have had cramps under my ribs, right side only. Been do it on and off for years, more so if I'm working in some very confined space. Doc put it down to a tumour somwhere. Also get cramps in one foot but I've busted a few toes and sprained ankle, so hard to be sure whats the cause, But I do suspect somethings doing weird things inside. Maybe I'm just getting old.... Falling apart Down under !! Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Vicki The only medication that works for me to date is the Quinine. It is a muscle relaxer of the worse kind. Because of my bad heart is very dangerous for me to take! Marnie (I have tried everything!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Ya know, I heard that cramps are from a lack of potassium. I got way bad cramps when I started the chemo, but I really boosted the banana intake:) My cramps are gone. These were in my legs and sides, very painful!! Lori:) Re: Side Cramps??
